Wild animals need to go about their daily matters undisturbed. Because of you, wildlife may waste energy searching for other sources of food or leave an area that was safe from predators. Approaching wildlife too closely, especially white-tailed deer, black bear or other large animals, is dangerous. If an animal looks sick or acts strangely, stay clear. Avoid disturbing the young and their nests.
Baby animals look irresistible, but are best left in the wild.
They only appear to be orphaned or abandoned. Chances are, a parent is nearby watching you and waiting to care for the young. Do not touch or handle young wildlife. Remember to watch for wildlife all around you, not just on the ground. Follow signs and obey posted rules.
