survival mode. Simply put, they will decide that it is better not to tempt fate and not wait until they are caught too, but to get away. Some may not come back at all, or they may return but the cub was transferred somewhere in the name of salvation, then all hell breaks loose. Separately, it is worth mentioning about the cubs of predatory animals and large ungulates. If you notice cute little bear cubs in the clearing, know: most likely, their big mother is already watching you. One squeak - and maternal instinct will work a hundred times faster than your reaction. Therefore, no tenderness, much less attempts to pet him. Slowly turn around and walk in the opposite direction. Be on your guard, meeting females during the breeding period is extremely dangerous! In the case where contact is unavoidable, for example, a fawn, obeying instinct, froze on the roadway, then act quickly and quietly. In fact, freezing is an evolutionarily well-functioning defense mechanism; the baby tries to blend in with the surroundings and become invisible, but alas, on the road among cars this does not help, but kills. It is best to use a blanket, towel or some kind of diaper for transfer: throw it over the animal’s head and/or the entire carcass to limit visibility and calm it down. Then carefully pick it up under the front and hind limbs at once, carry it to the nearest bushes and leave. While the savior is nearby and monitors the results of his work, the animal will continue to experience stress - you did a good deed, complete it with your absence. If, unfortunately, the animal is definitely wounded - you can see blood, bone fragments, and an unnatural position - then it is better to trust the specialists. Call a wild animal rescue center, if there is one in your area, and explain the situation to them: for each case and animal, the action algorithm will be different. If there are no centers, contact a veterinary clinic. Some doctors take on the treatment of wild animals - they will also tell you what to do at the moment. Before you understand what to do next, you can throw a towel or blanket over the animal’s head, but do not try to provide first aidon one's own. A wounded animal experiences severe pain and can be extremely aggressive. If you suddenly received a bite or simply got drooled from a sick animal on you, be sure to visit the hospital and describe to them everything that happened. Rabies is not a fiction, people die from it regularly, there is no cure. Pre-vaccination only. No, the animal itself, and especially its head, is not necessary to bring with you, it doesn’t work like that now. And they won’t give 40 injections either; now the vaccination course is much simpler. So it turns out that if you see a wild animal in nature that does not look wounded and is not in danger, then do not approach - now all phones have excellent zoom. Just take a photo for memory, and then pretend that nothing happened and move on. In the wild, not everything that lo
