Dolphins reclaim Bosphorus as virus silences Istanbul:
A lull in boat traffic and a fishing ban in Istanbul forced by the coronavirus pandemic has proved good news for some of the city's most-loved inhabitants—the dolphins that swim in the fish-rich waters of the Bosphorus Strait between Europe and Asia.
[...]Spotting dolphins in the Bosphorus—a usually very busy narrow waterway connecting the Mediterranean to the Black Sea right through the heart of Istanbul—is often a source of joy for the city's residents.
But the lockdown has meant fewer ships and more fish in the water, encouraging the mammals to come closer to shore and prompting more frequent sightings.
How long before deer are sighted in Central Park?

There are already deer in Staten Island and the Bronx, probably from New Jersey and Westchester county, respectively.
If there were deer in Brooklyn or Queens, they'd probably come from farther east on Long Island. If there were deer in Manhattan, they'd most likely be in such small park-like areas as exist on the waterfront. It's several uninviting blocks from there to Central Park, so unless people plant them in Central Park, the deer aren't likely to show up soon. The Central Park Zoo webpage doesn't indicate that they have any deer.

Gagh! Soylent is losing a step. Not one "I Am Legend" reference.
Q: How long before deer are sighted in Central Park?
A: It's not clear when, but Will Smith will be the first to sight them.

The deer are afraid of being shot while riding the subway.
