GEORGE TOWN: With humans cooped up in their homes during the Covid-19 pandemic, wild animals are coming out of their habitats and adjusting to a world relatively free of people.

Since the start of the movement control order on Jan 13, popular tourist spots in Penang have been devoid of human movement and in places like Penang Hill, dusky leaf monkeys have been spotted roaming around freely.
