Nature Takes Over: As Humans Remain Under Lockdown, Young Leopards Seen Playing By The Roadside

While the humans remain under lockdown, nature is reclaiming what it rightfully owns. The pollution levels are at a lowest in decades and animals are having a free run, and they seem to be loving every bit of it.

There have been many viral pictures on the internet showing animals around the world wandering care free and taking a liking to the good that nature has to offer.

Now, a video clip shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Vaibhav Singh, showing two young leopards playing by the roadside, has gone viral.

Singh shared the clip to his Twitter and wrote, "Growing up is the best part of life. Be it humans or #leopards! VC: WA."

In the clip, it can be seen the leopards, who seem young, are jumping with joy and playfully going on with their activity, in the night, while a few people record them.

The lockdown has enabled many rare species of fauna to come out and surprise many around the world. Deer were seen walking around in a town in Poland. Wild turkeys dominated a playground in California, Olive Ridley turtles came ashore on a beach in Odisha.

With the humans busy isolating and quarantining themselves, the animals appear to have gotten a free reign - albeit temporarily - on the otherwise busy roads of bustling cities and metropolitan areas.
