How can I identify dangerous animals in the wilderness?

To identify dangerous animals, look for specific signs like tracks, droppings, and nests. What animals are you concerned about?

I'm worried about bears and snakes. What should I look for?

For bears, look for large paw prints and claw marks on trees. For snakes, be cautious of their shed skins and the sound of rustling leaves.

What should I do if I encounter a bear?

If you encounter a bear, stay calm, avoid direct eye contact, and back away slowly. Do not run!

And what about snakes?

If you see a snake, give it space and do not attempt to handle it. Most snakes will retreat if left alone.
