Be patient, use a long lens, and let the animal decide how close you get. Name the species if you know it and pick its group so others can find what they want to see.
Never bait an animal, play recorded calls, or follow it for a photo, and step back if it changes what it is doing because of you. Never reveal where nests, dens, or roosts are. Locations default to approximate here.
Respect private property, restricted areas, and local law. Take care on difficult terrain, and do not photograph people without their permission.
