Oooh Gads! What Is This Thing-a-ma-jigga I Found???

You don't know do ya???.

Everyone has probably seen pictures of the human embryo in their science classes or on TV.
Wild animals often look like human embryo when they are born. Naked little fleshy things. Even the birds do if you picture those little featherless wings as their arms.

What I'm trying to say here is, God only knows sometimes, when they are babies, what they will grow up to be.

Most of the time a trained eye can tell the subtle differences in these babies. But, one thing usually holds true to nature, and that is, they need to be warm, regardless of who they are.
They need to be loved. Even in the wild they need the sense of nurturing their mother and father provide.
And if they are hurt or orphaned they need to be rescued.

Provide a warm climate using a box, with tissues or towels or t-shirts and a warm jar of water near them. Rest the box on a heating pad set on low.
Do not attempt to feed them.

Once the babies are settled and warm contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator and they will instruct you as to their needs. The rehabber will arrange to have them transported to a safe place to be nurtured and raised. So that they to, one day, may enjoy the freedoms that our great countries (appealing to the world here) have fought so hard for us all to share.
