Bored Panda reached out to 'Help Wildlife,' a British charity-run advice website dedicated to helping wildlife, to talk to them about critters in the wild and what we can do to protect them. "To avoid disturbing small animals when in nature, it's best to stick to established pathways where possible. If you see a nest or other animal habitat then only observe from a distance, never try to touch or interfere. If you have a dog friend walking with you, make sure they're kept under control and they're not allowed to disturb or harm wildlife," Sarah, from 'Help Wildlife,' told us.
