In most cases, wild animals stay away from people - it's their instincts telling them that people can be dangerous.
Meanwhile, there are still situations when wild animals might seek human help when they or their friends are in danger.
Here are a few explanations to that.
Instinctual Behavior
Wild animals have survival instincts that help them recognize potential sources of aid.
If they feel threatened, injured, or in need of assistance, they may approach people for help.
Familiarity
In some cases, animals may have become accustomed to human presence due to frequent interactions in urban or residential areas.
They may associate humans with safety and food, leading them to seek help when they are in distress.
Injuries or Illness
When animals are injured, sick, or unable to find food, they may recognize humans as a possible source of relief.
They might approach people to convey their distress and seek assistance.
Human Intervention
Animals that have been previously helped by humans may remember the positive outcome and seek help again when they are in need.
They learn that humans can provide aid or care, and they actively seek out their assistance.
Social Creatures
Certain animals are social by nature and have developed social bonds with humans.
These animals may approach people for comfort or assistance, relying on the human-animal bond they have formed.
Adaptation to Human Environments
Some wild animals have adapted to living in close proximity to human settlements.
They may learn to navigate human spaces and recognize that humans can provide resources or assistance when needed.
Natural Curiosity
Animals, particularly young ones, are naturally curious.
They may approach humans out of curiosity, and if they are in need, they may use this opportunity to seek help.
