Researchers are warning Texans not to feed the wildlife affected as this can cause 'more negative impacts than positive, such as the spread of disease.'
A warning has been issued to Texans against feeding wildlife in the wake of the Panhandle wildfires.The fires started on February 26, and were the largest in Texas history. The blaze, dubbed the Smokehouse Creek fire, burnt more than 1 million acres of grassland in the state's panhandle region. Around three weeks later, the blaze is now contained.
'I think as long as the region can make it through this short and very difficult period with adequate precipitation, we will see the landscape and its wildlife rebound in a beautiful way,' Dykes said.For this reason, the researchers are urging the public to be patient with wildlife in their rebound following the fires.Despite the large area this fire covered, the wildlife has proved its resilience.
