Background: Wuhan, the capital city of Hubei Province, is where the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) originated from. Social media users in Hubei Province reported numerous sightings of unusual animal behaviors during the coronavirus outbreak, and want to know why such things are happening. Someone provided a possible answer as to why large numbers of crows were observed in Hubei. “The crow is a carrion-eater. The elderly say that crows seem to anticipate death because they can smell it, even before a person dies. In other words, they can smell the odor of a dying person; but we humans cannot,” he wrote. “They will then circle around this person waiting for him to die. That is why in Chinese culture, crows are considered inauspicious and are always linked with death.”
