When people discover a supposedly orphaned or injured wild animal, they often don't know how to act. In many cases, however, intervention is not necessary, and careless action can even be harmful to the animal. An example: fawns that crouch in the grass usually wait for your mother's return and do not yet have a escape instinct - you do not need help! On the contrary: if people take a fawn, his mother may violate it because it has accepted the foreign smell. Therefore, wild animals are often the most helped when we humans leave them alone.
