IN THE WILD

ANIMALS

Mountain lions, foxes, and bears, oh my!

One of the most exciting things about hiking is seeing the wildlife in their natural environment. Keep your eyes open, be quiet, and you will probably see wild animals. Wildlife does not benefit from human interaction, so keep a safe distance between you and them. Respect the animals and their habitat by not disturbing them.

Don’t feed them because human food isn’t good for animals, and it isn’t part of their normal diet. Wild animals can carry bugs and diseases that can be passed along to humans. Keep a safe distance, and if you get bitten by an animal tell an adult immediately.

As you hike you will probably see animal tracks or footprints. Each animal has a distinctive set of tracks. With practice and a good field guide you can identify the animals that made the tracks.
