Below are some tips on how to interact responsibly:
1. Observe wildlife from a safe distance
While it’s tempting to get up close to the animals, it’s crucial to maintain a safe distance to avoid causing stress or interfering with their natural behaviors.

Feeding or touching wildlife can disrupt their natural feeding habits and even expose them to potential diseases.
