After Dolphins Returned To Venice, Now Rare Species Of Turtles Filled Empty Tourist Beaches in Thailand
Rare species of turtles filled Thai beaches, empty without tourists during the coronavirus pandemic. On Tuesday, April 21, reports The Sun.
Reptiles have begun massively building nests on the popular beaches of Phuket in Thailand. According to local ecologists, such a phenomenon has not been noticed there for 20 years.
According to the director of the Phuket Marine Biological Center, 11 nests were found on the island, which can be considered a good sign, since "many areas of spawning were previously destroyed by people."
“Last year we did not have such a large number of eggs laid, because the turtles died when they fell into fishing gear,” the biologist said.
In March, it was reported that wild animals began to return to cities that were empty due to quarantine measures designed to curb the spread of coronavirus infection.
For example, cougars roam the streets of the American city of Boulder in Colorado, crocodiles settled on the beaches of Mexico, and a herd of orphaned goats crept into one of the cities of Wales.
Recently, Bemorepanda has reported that many animals, such as deers, pigs, sheeps and horses have returned back to the city streets, which caused a lot of amusement among many internet users.
People in Spain are sunbathing with face mask after the coronavirus restrictions have been relaxed

According to worldometers.info, as of today, there are 282,370 confirmed cases in the country and over 28,678 deaths.

The cats have lived in the area of the village of Sous Palloso for over 100 years, since the fishermen brought these animals here for rodent control.
This is a tiny village in Sardinia called Su Pallosu. Only eight people and 54 cats live there. Cats took up residence here almost 90 years ago, in the 1920s. They were brought by the fishermen from the nearby tuna fishery to keep mice away. Today Su Pallosu cat colony is one of the oldest in Italy.
Every year, thousands of tourists gather to soak up the beach surrounded by friendly and cute animals, which are actually sandy predators and, before being tamed by humans, preferred to live in such places.
In Lopburi, Thailand, primates have taken over the streets, and authorities have been campaigning for three weeks to sterilize macaques that become violent when they see food and are not afraid to attack people.
For a population of 750,000 people, 6,000 macaques have been making the law in the locality for more than 10 years. The number of tourists has decreased significantly while the number of cases of hospitalized patients with injuries caused by monkeys is constantly increasing.
The castration of monkeys became a local emergency after they multiplied alarmingly during isolation in homes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Left without food, the monkeys entered the houses and terrorized the locals.

Thousands of Britons and Dutch stormed the beaches, taking advantage of the fact that thermometers have indicated 27 degrees Celsius in recent days. On the beach of Scheveningen, near The Hague, you had almost nowhere to throw a needle as many people had come to the beach.
The Netherlands started relaxing on May 6, but with the conditions to prevent the spread of the disease (distance of 2 meters between people, wearing a mask and hand hygiene). The beaches have not been opened yet, but who cared, even if the number of contaminations reached 44,700 yesterday and the number of deaths reached 5,775. The same thing happened in the UK, where temperatures of 28 degrees Celsius were recorded.
Hackney Marshes Beach in East London, the pools near the British metropolis and the beach in Southend, Essex have been stormed by thousands of people of all ages. The Johnson administration imposed restrictive measures on the spread of COVID-19 after the epidemic reached 36,050 deaths and 251,000 diseases. Some regions have begun to relax restrictive measures, but the risks are extremely high given that around 2,000 new cases are reported overnight.
