The coronavirus lockdown has seen several reports of animals being spotted in city areas. The animals which are usually in the wild regions or forest covers are seen out on streets in different parts of the world, including India. But not all of the videos and pictures that are being shared online are true. Recently, another such video of a herd of wild boars out in the street is being shared online with various claims all stating it is an effect of lockdown. Some have shared it calling it a clip from Coorg, others state Kolhapur and South Goa, while yet another claim calls the video footage from UP's Sitapur. However, the differing claim points out that it is a fake claim. Let us tell you, the video is not from India at all. It is a two-month-old shot in Albacete, a city in Spain. Viral Video of Humpback Whales Swimming at Bombay High is FAKE, Here's Truth Behind Old Video From Indonesia Taking Internet By Storm.
