In many cases, the animal has to be destroyed if it can't be relocated. Certainly everyone knows that bears, mountain lions and large animals can pose dangers. You can enjoy these animals at a distance, and a telephoto lens on your camera or a spotting scope will get a close view for you. Not to sound like a broken record, but you should stay away from seemingly innocent animals, as well. People who enjoy watching and photographing wildlife can sometimes harm wildlife unintentionally.
Most animals react with alarm when approached by humans on foot or in any type of vehicle.
Depending on the situation, an animal may remain, flee, or in some cases, attack. The main problem with this is, these reactions stress the animals and cause them to expend energy. Although a single disturbance isn't much of a drain on the animal, repeated disturbances can take their toll-especially in winter months, when most animals need conserve their energy resources. Plus, repeated disturbance may cause wildlife to avoid an area, even if the area provides the best food or nesting site. Injured animals often feel especially vulnerable, and will be more likely than ever to attack.
