Intro

Hi there, curious minds! I'm Crafty Clover! Let's discover something amazing. Why should you leave a seemingly lost fawn or bunny alone?

The Big Idea

You find a baby deer alone in a field. It looks lost! Should you help it?

Not Lost

Step one: Not Lost. A baby deer or rabbit alone in a field may look lost, but its mother is probably nearby. Many mammal mothers leave their young hidden while they feed.

Don't Touch

Step two: Don't Touch. Don't touch or move the baby, and keep pets away. Touching it can scare the mother away.

When to Get Help

Step three: When to Get Help. If it looks hurt or is in danger, tell a grown-up to call a wildlife rescue center. Usually the best help is to leave it be.

A Closer Look

Let's take a closer look! Hidden. Hidden. Keep away. If hurt.

Quick Facts
