Today on Earth, it is difficult to find territories that humans have not impacted. During the Covid-19 pandemic, however, many spaces, usually populated by Homo Sapiens or on the contrary deserted, were occupied differently. How did the rest of life react to the sudden silence caused by the confinements? How did he behave? The pandemic, although a complex ordeal to live through, has been a unique opportunity for scientists around the world to observe wild animal species. The researchers thus collected data on their movements, and numerous information from field observations was analyzed on all continents. While the rhinos moved and the orcas made themselves heard, brown bears, deer and even crows provided astonishing information on animal behavior in these times of pandemic.
