In case of emergency
If you have found an injured wild animal that appears to need assistance, please call us and bring it in the earliest possible time to the Hospital.
In the event that the transfer of the patient is delayed, place it inside a closed box with a soft bedding (towel, cloth or leaves) and hold it in a warm, dark and quiet area until it can be brought in for treatment. Please do not feed or water the animal unless you obtain specific instructions from the Wildlife Hospital staff.
When you find a wild animal it is important to keep these rules in mind:
- Safety above all! Wild animals have a lot of strength, agility and superb instincts and may inflict damage or injury in the attempt to protect themselves.
- If you happen to find a cub or hatchling in nature, most likely he was left there by his parents and does not need treatment. Leave it in its place. If you are afraid for its life you can watch it from a distance, if it still seems that the cub or hatchling is in life threatening danger contact us before taking it for treatment.
- The place for every wild animal is in the wild, and under no circumstances is it to be kept at private ownership without proper authorization.
- A wild animal that comes from nature is under a lot of stress that may cause it to die. Even if this behavior is not observed, unnecessary contact is to be avoided.
Wild animals are taken in for treatment in the Hospital Center at the Safari in Ramat-Gan, apart from ruminants (gazelles, ibexes ect.) which are brought to the National Park Afek- Antipater Fort (Rosh Ha'ayin area
please call (before bringing the animal to us) the environemnt hotline *6911 available 24 hours a day
