Human behavior changed dramatically during lockdowns in the first months of the global COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in behavioral changes of land mammals. This is according to a study published in Science by a large international research team led by Marlee Tucker, an ecologist at Radboud University. Wild mammals traveled longer distances and appeared closer to roads during strict lockdowns.
