Question

which of the following is a safety precaution to take in order to avoid wildlife encounters?

a. make as little noise as possible.

b. stay away from food and water sources.

c. only approach young animals.

d. wear scented products.

Explanation:

• Option A: Making little noise might make it harder to detect wildlife or for wildlife to detect you, but it's not a good precaution to avoid encounters as it doesn't actively prevent them.
• Option B: Wildlife often congregates around food and water sources. Staying away from these areas reduces the chance of encountering them.
• Option C: Approaching young animals is dangerous as their parents may be nearby and protective, increasing the risk of an encounter.
• Option D: Wearing scented products can attract wildlife, increasing the likelihood of an encounter.

Answer:

B. Stay away from food and water sources.
