Wildlife disease

Wildlife disease is when animals, like deer or birds, get sick and cannot stay healthy. They can get sick with different kinds of diseases, just like people can. Some diseases are contagious, which means they can spread from one animal to another. If a sick animal touches another animal or uses the same food and water, then that animal might get sick too! Wildlife disease can have a big impact on the environment, since when animals get sick they cannot hunt, breed, and play like they normally do. It is important to take good care of the animals in our environment and to make sure they stay healthy, so they can keep the environment healthy!
