Be a smart wildlife watcher and always remember:  🪄It's not just a snack. Feeding wildlife is dangerous for the animals and for you.  🪄There are risks to people. Animals that rely on human foods can become aggressive trippers.  🪄There are risks to wildlife. Animals that rely on human foods can stop naturally hunting or foraging and starve.  🪄You can help keep wildlife wild by never feeding wildlife, clean up and leave no trace, and by keeping your distance.  Image: A park sign warning against feeding wildlife at @nationalmallnps #keepwildlifewild #safety #nature #sign #national...
