(The one about curious goats taking over a small Welsh town is true, however-and it’s awesome.) Amid the horrors of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s understandable that people would want to look for some sort of upside to it in that sense, these too-good-to-be-true tales may represent a kind of wish fulfillment fantasy born of our collective trauma. Most of these stories, alas, turned out to be fake. Some of these images may have been accompanied by hopeful captions along the lines of “the planet is healing” or “nature just hit the reset button.”
You might have seen them pop up on your social media over the past couple months: images of Venetian canals so crystal clear that swans-and even dolphins!-are cautiously returning to them for the first time in decades of elephants sauntering into deserted Chinese villages and getting drunk on corn wine of a lively family of wild boars taking advantage of empty Italian streets and making them their own.
