(Optional) Describe provision of interim care to injured or orphaned wildlife.

Description should include

• safety issues specific to working with various species of wildlife (e.g., protection from teeth, claws, beaks, talons)
• ways to determine whether an animal is orphaned
• the reasons for seeking counsel from a veterinarian or licensed wildlife rehabilitator, if possible, before attempting to provide any care
• identifying species protected by laws that should be turned over to a licensed person or wildlife hospital immediately
• identifying when human and animal interaction is appropriate
• husbandry and nutritional needs unique to various species. 

Process/Skill Questions:

• Why is it detrimental to the animal for a person not experienced in caring for wildlife to attempt to care for it rather than turning it over to a licensed person or wildlife hospital?
• How can one tell if an animal has truly been orphaned?
• What issues exist when individuals choose to rehabilitate a species that might pose a threat such as rabies?
