The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is reminding the public to be mindful of displaced wildlife following Tropical Storm Arthur. Rising waters have forced animals to seek higher ground, potentially increasing encounters with people.
Basic Tips
The department urges the public to avoid areas where displaced wildlife has taken refuge, avoid interaction with and do not feed displaced wildlife, and avoid roadways near flooded areas to reduce the likelihood of disturbance and collisions with wildlife.
