Animal Control
If an injured animal is observed it is best to consider what defense mechanisms it may use to defend itself from a perceived attack from the person trying to help it. Raccoon, fox, and opossum all have very sharp teeth. Many birds are designed with long necks and sharp sword like beaks and are able to strike the eye. Others have powerful jaws that could crack a nut. Before handling a potentially dangerous injured wild animal, consider these things and if there is concern that human injury may occur, then animal control or someone with protective equipment or experience should be notified.
