                    Note: Many 'orphaned' wild animals are not orphaned; their 
                    mothers are close by and watching. Leave young wild animals 
                    alone, and call the humane society, wildlife rehabilitator, 
                    or government natural resources office if you feel the young 
                    are truly orphaned. These people have the most experience 
                    and will provide the best care for these animals if they are 
                    actually orphaned. In addition, remember that keeping wild 
                    animals, even orphans, without being a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, 
                    is against the law in many places.   |
