How to Get an Animal Out of a Car Engine

If you see an animal in a car engine, do not attempt to remove it yourself.

Animals can be very scared and aggressive when they are trapped, and they may bite or scratch you if you try to help them. It is best to call animal control or a wildlife rehabilitator for assistance.

If you are unable to reach animal control or a wildlife rehabilitator, there are a few things you can do to try to help the animal yourself.

1. Park the car in a safe place and turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood of the car and look for the animal.
3. If the animal is small, you may be able to gently coax it out of the engine with a stick or a piece of wood.
4. If the animal is large, you will need to call for help.

Here are some additional tips for getting an animal out of a car engine:

• Do not use loud noises or bright lights to try to scare the animal out of the engine. This will only make the animal more scared and aggressive.
• Do not try to grab the animal with your bare hands. This could cause the animal to bite or scratch you.
• If you are able to get the animal out of the engine, do not release it into the wild. Take it to a veterinarian or a wildlife rehabilitator for care.

By following these tips, you can help to safely remove an animal from a car engine.
