If you find an injured wild animal, the first thing to do is to try to remain calm. Even though it may seem strange, attempt to ensure that the animal does not have any imminent dangers around it. If possible, move it to a safe spot such as a nearby bush or log and leave it there. 

Next, you should attempt to stabilize the animal by keeping it warm and covering any wounds with a soft cloth or bandage material. Make sure that its breathing is still functional and check for any external parasites like ticks or tangled debris. 

Finally, your goal is then to contact a local wildlife rehabilitation center who will take the injured animal off your hands and provide proper care for its injuries. When speaking with them, be sure to provide detailed information on where you found the animal along with its condition.

With all this in mind, your actions can truly help ensure that even an injured wild animal gets the care that it needs!

If you find an injured wild animal, the first thing to do is to try to remain calm. In most cases, the best thing you can do is to leave it alone and let it die in its natural habitat. However, if the animal is in a public area or if it's a species that needs assistance, then you should take action.
 
First of all, it’s important that you don’t panic. If possible, try and contain the animal in an area so that help can be summoned easily. The best way to carry out this process is by ensuring minimal disturbance or stress levels are created for the animal involved.
Nextlyou should carefully inspect its injuries so as to gain an idea of how serious they are. Depending on your findings,your next course of action will involve attempting first aid (if capable), summoning professional wildlife help or even reporting any hazards present back to proper authorities.

In any case make sure that before relocating an injured wildlife creature (unless explicitly stated otherwise) -you place it in some sort shade where other animals cannot access and refrain from providing liquids.

Lastly when seeking professional help never attempt physical contact with any wild animal unless under direct guidance from qualified personnel due to potential harm resulting from unintended movements or vocalisations.
