#1. You're walking along the beach and spot some strand feeding dolphins at the shore. How far back should you stand?
#2. You spot a mama sea turtle coming up the beach to lay her eggs. You know you should stand behind her to avoid scaring her back to the ocean, but how far back should you stand?
While mama turtle might appreciate that extra bit of room, you can actually get a little closer look at her, so long as you stay behind her so you don’t block her path up the beach. She’s got a big job to do laying her nest before she returns to the ocean!
#3. An alligator floating in a pond! How far back should you stand from it?
Alligators can move surprisingly fast! We’re safest when we’re staying back about 20 yards and never getting in between an alligator and its pond. Luckily, when we’re viewing alligators safely from Kiawah’s bridges and overlooks, we can get a closer look!
#4. It's twilight and you spot an elusive bobcat crossing a trail. How far back should you stand? Hint, it's the distance you should keep from most wildlife!
Sometimes wildlife like bobcats can surprise us and pop out of the underbrush unexpected, but we should still try to keep a safe distance of about 25 yards!
