Many countries, severely hit by the deadly virus are under lockdown, with others following stringent measures by staying at home to contain the spread. With humans being inside, animals are frequently seen wandering on the streets and empty roads, across countries. Popular wildlife national parks are closed for visitors and animals were captured coming out of their hiding. Known for its granite cliffs, serene mountains and waterfalls, Yosemite National Park in California too were treated with rare sightings of animals. With no human presence in the park, the animals seem to reclaim their habitats, as they were spotted many times, strolling in the wild. The park officials have shared beautiful videos and pictures of animals coming out of their den and how gorgeously nature is seen resting during the lockdown. Pride of Lions Spotted Sleeping on Road in South Africa's Kruger National Park During Coronavirus Lockdown.
