What should I do if I encounter wildlife while hiking

1. "If you run into wildlife while hiking, just stay calm and give them some space. Don’t approach or feed them, and try to quietly back away if they seem agitated. It’s their home, after all!"

[OakleyCastro]

2. "First off, don’t panic! Just observe from a distance. If it’s a bear or something big, make some noise to let it know you’re there, but don’t run. Slowly back away and let it go on its way."
