For the Pearson correlation coefficient, a high correlation between the search terms "CoViD-19" and "tiger" (r = 0.669, p < 0.05) was found for the period from 1 st January 2020 to 24 th April 2020. For the search term "palm civet" a low Pearson correlation coefficient was found (r=0.148; p < 0.05).
