Generally if you find a baby animal it is best to leave it
alone. Often the animal is not orphaned, and the parent may be out
getting food for the animal, or watching the baby. Never pick up
baby animals and remove them from their natural environment!
Do
not feed wildlife. Feeding animals such as deer, raccoons, or alligators may
cause them to concentrate on food provided by humans such that they
become a nuisance or a threat to people.
Do
not litter! Animals can become tangled or trapped in products such as
plastic, fishing line, cans, jars and bottles. On the beach, these
products can harm sea turtles
