In terms of having an immediate effect on the habits and livelihood of many wildlife species, this pandemic has not yet shown drastic positive changes. In fact, the Venitian swans have always inhabited the canals, their sightings always kept limited as a result of tourist traffic. As for the photographed dolphins, it has been confirmed that what appeared to be photos of dolphins in the canal waters of Venice, were in fact taken a few hundred miles south, in a Sardinian port.

The source of the languorous Yunnan vineyard elephants has not yet been confirmed, however, Chinese reporters have disproved the claims, saying that the presence of these wild animals are not completely out of the ordinary, and assured none were passed out in any vineyard or tea field.

There will undoubtedly have been sightings of animal visits in areas that are otherwise not known for their roaming wildlife since streets, roads, parks, and other public areas are much less densely populated. However, we must also appreciate that since the removal of all distractions that came with the daily bustle of life, we are becoming more observant and appreciative of what has been surrounding us. Noticing other forms of life we, under previous conditions, would have dismissed.
