WILDLIFE
VIEWING TIPS
|
|
The
ultimate wildlife viewing experience is watching animals in
their normal behavior.
Here are some helpful tips to become a wildlife friendly viewer. |
|
1.
|
Use
the right tools - A
field guide, a pair of binoculars and a comfy pair of shoes
are a good start.
|
| 2. |
Watch
at dawn and dusk - This is the time when most wildlife
species are active enough
to view.
|
| 3. |
Keep
your distance - Stay on established trails and maintain
a distance that is comfortable for the wildlife.
|
| 4. |
Stay
quiet - Move slowly and quietly to increase your
chances of viewing wildlife, and to avoid stressing the animals
you wish to watch.
|
| 5. |
Do
not feed wildlife - There is plenty of food available
in the wild. Human food can cause digestive problems, provide
improper nutrition, and even kill an animal.
