It’s important for releasable weeks animals to not think of humans as safe because it can hurt they’re chances in survival or encourage them to get into dangerous situations.

While caring for animals, they can become dependant on humans and lose their fear of us, so caregivers will disguise themselves well enough the animals will not associate their treatment with people.

Many disguises are dark netting or other very simple things to obscure the human outline, and sometimes puppets can be used, but I came across these outfits which show off some fun creativity.
