LEAVE WILDLIFE ALONE


TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE STAFF RECEIVE HUNDREDS 
OF CALLS ASKING ABOUT YOUNG WILDLIFE WHO 
APPEAR TO BE ABANDONED.

THE MOST COMMONLY MENTIONED ANIMALS ARE 
FAWNS AND BABY BIRDS. 

THE ANSWER FROM PARKS AND WILDLIFE IS:
LEAV E WILDLIFE ALONE, UNLESS THE ANIMAL IS 
INJURED OR IN DISTRESS. 

IN MOST CASES, THE MOTHER IS JUST OUT OF SIGHT AND 
THE YOUNG ANIMALS ARE STILL BEING PROTECTED AND 
FED BY THE PARENTS. 

IF YOU COME ACROSS AN INJURED ANIMAL, CONTACT A 
LOCAL WILDLIFE REHABILITATOR.
