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: UNLESS 
THE ANIMAL IS INJURED OR IN DISTRESS --
LEAVE WILDLIFE ALONE.

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

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