Other ways you can help the animals in this video according to the Oakland Zoo's Website:
Bald Eagle:
Use nontoxic pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers & other chemicals; use all other chemicals only in accordance to law.
Help protect old growth trees, particularly within a mile from water, and other roost/nest sites and important foraging areas.
If you see an eagle or nest, please let Ventana Wildlife Society know If you see an eagle pair you want to protect, ask VWS to help support you with this noble endeavor.
Wolf:
As wolves return to their historic range in the United States (including California): Advocate for lowering the risk of human/predator conflict, especially for ranchers.
Never feed wild animals; walk pets on leash; keep small pets inside; supervise small children outside; secure garbage, compost, & pet foods; stay informed!
Keep dogs inside unless supervised because hybridization with wolves can impact the overall population and genetics of wild wolves.
Condor:
Never use lead bullets! Alternative bullets are available that can compete well with lead in accuracy, range, and killing power, and, like lead, they pose little threat of damage to gun barrels.
Encourage hunters to remove bodies of animals they have killed (whether game or non-game species).
Pick up trash. Many condors, especially chicks & juveniles, have been found with micro-trash in their bodies.
Jaguar:
The impact of jaguar predation on domestic livestock depends largely on the availability of natural prey and herd management practices. Therefore, advocate for a change in ranch management throughout the jaguar's range.
Purchase jaguar friendly coffee which comes from coffee plantations and companies that do not kill jaguars Purchase Shade Grown coffee which keeps rainforests habitat intact and thriving for jaguars and other species.
Grizzly Bear:
Do not hunt bears and contact your government to express your interest in grizzly bear conservation and decreasing fragmentation between populations.
Properly store your food and pick up trash when you go into bear territory.
Never come between a mother and her cubs. Depredation occurs with bears when they are too habituated to humans or if they attack. If we clean up after ourselves and pay attention to our surroundings, we can easily save the lives of bears.
When in Grizzly habitat, act responsibly: Use bear proof containers, carry
Mountain Lion:
When working in your garden build a deer-resistant yard. Deer bring mountain lions to developed areas; if deer do not spend time in our yards, this will greatly reduce human/mountain lion conflict.
Never feed wild animals; walk pets on leash; keep small pets inside; supervise small children outside, especially at twilight.
Black Bear:
Do not hunt bears and contact your government to express your interest in black bear conservation and decreasing fragmentation between populations.
If you witness an illegal poaching, call 888-DFG-CALTIP (Californians Turn In Poachers and Polluters), or donate to the CalTIP Foundation for reporter rewards. Learn more from our partners the BEAR League.
