Following the deadly outbreak of the novel coronavirus, many countries across the world have imposed lockdown so that the people won't step out of their houses, and the virus is not spread further.

This development has resulted in the Wild Animals enjoying their habitat without fearing humans. Earlier deers and Cheetahs were seen roaming at the Ghat-roads of Tirumala with the temple being closed.

Now Ganges River Dolphin, endangered freshwater dolphin species were seen at the Ganges river in Meerut returning to their natural habitat. The video of the dolphins in the river went rounds of social media.

Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Akash Deep Badhawan took to Twitter and shared the video of dolphins in the Ganges, enjoying a swim. The video became an instant sensation on social media.

'DYK?. Ganges River Dolphin, our National Aquatic Animal once lived in the Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna river system is now endangered. They live in fresh water and are practically blind, with small slits as eyes. Was fortunate to spot these in Ganges in Meerut,' read his post.
