Care of Young Wildlife - NYS Dept of Environmental Conservation

Care of Young Wildlife DO NOT consider young wildlife as possible pets. It is illegal, and wild animals are not well suited for life in captivity. Plus, they may carry diseases that can be given to people. © Art Jacobson When people with no knowledge or experience attempt to handle or raise wildlife, these well-meaning acts of kindness tend to have the opposite result. Many of the animals that are rescued soon die despite their best efforts. Even if they do survive, mishandled wild animals don t learn normal wild animal behavior. Inappropriate care given to young wildlife often results in abnormal attachment to humans. After release, some return to places where people live, only to be attacked by domestic animals or to be hit by cars. Some become nuisances getting into stored food, trash cans, or dwellings. And some may be thrust as unwelcome intruders into the home range of another member of their species.

Mysterious elephant deaths haunt Okavango Delta

DYING IN NUMBERS: Jumbos have been hard hit by illness in recent years A second wave of mysterious elephant deaths has hit the Okavango Delta, with government confirming that at least 39 jumbos in the area have succumbed to an unknown illness since the start of the year. Following a two-month delay to respond to media enquiries, the Ministry Environment, Natural Resources, Conservation and Tourism finally issued a statement this week. “Preliminary results have ruled out anthrax and bacterial infections as the cause of death and further laboratory analysis is ongoing,” the statement explains in part. In January, suspicions of a possible surge in elephant fatalities were reported, with Regional Wildlife Office confirming 11 deaths at the time in Mombo area in the Moremi Game Reserve.
