Five does (female roe deer) and a young fawn with a missing patch of fur roam on a nearly-empty sidewalk in Zakopane, southern Poland, 16 April 2020. The European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) is endemic to the Tatra Mountains that straddle the border between Poland and Slovakia. The ongoing pandemic of the COVID-19 disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has sparked stay-at-home rules worldwide, which in turn have resulted in empty urban agglomerations that are slowly being reclaimed by certain wild species. Animals freely roaming around towns and cities they had previously avoided are becoming an increasingly common sight around the planet. (Photo by Grzegorz Momot/EPA/EFE)
