Sooner or later, you are going to find a hurt animal. A turtle hit by a car. A snake tangled in netting. A bird that flew into a window. This lesson is about the people who take care of animals like that, what they need from you, and what you should never do. A wildlife rehabilitator is a person trained and licensed to care for injured, sick, and orphaned wild animals until they can go back to the wild. I am one. Here is the honest truth about the job: it is not something a sensible person would sign up for. The government does not pay us.
This lesson is part of Certified Junior Herpetologist. Enrollment is self-paced, with no deadline to finish (about 30 hours).
