Advisory, do not approach wildlife! Last night, an employee was injured while trying to photograph some wildlife, specifically racoons, while the raccoons were foraging through trash near the Medical Library. Medical treatment was necessary. Be advised that these animals and others, such as coyotes are found on the island and may be hazardous, especially at night. Avoid them and report their location to UTMB Police or UTMB Facilities to avoid injury.
