Abandoned Wildlife Babies?

Now that summer is here, Michigan residents and visitors are spending more time outdoors. And every summer, they view wildlife in our state forests, parks or sometimes right in their own backyards. Remember, wildlife should be left in the wild. When you see wildlife, especially young wildlife like fawns, enjoy the moment – but don’t touch it or move it. Only licensed wildlife rehabilitators may possess wildlife; they will care for it and then release it back into the wild.

Finding lone fawns during the spring and summer is a very common occurrence in Michigan, and in this video, Katie Keen explains why there is no need to worry. If you come across a lone fawn, enjoy the moment, but please leave wildlife in the wild.
