What do you do when you notice Road kill on the road?

Damn Larry, that last answer was just wrong lol. I saw a dead coyote on the road the other day whilst driving in Texas and as I passed it my heart wrenched, it had no wounds on it or anything (it must have been hit and killed by sheer force) and was such a beautiful animal, kinda looked like a white wolf and to see it just strewn there was terrible.

Hitting animals on the road is called road kill? I thought it was only applied to hitting humans on the road.

No, we call that fun.

Man I got Like 150 Points on the way home today.... just kidding i don't even have a licence [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I remember a mate of mine running over, correction, into a Wombat once. It wrote his car off! Wombats are hard as nails! Their form of defence against preditors is to dig themselves into the ground with powereful clawed feet, and leave their back exposed. The muscles on their backs are like rock and can't be hurt. So when a wombat gets caught in the headlights of a car, he digs his claws into the tarmac and stands stockstill. It's like hitting a rock thats stands about a foot and a half high!

There used to be a prof at my graduate school who would go collect fresh roadkill for taxidermy purposes.

Last I recall... no scratch that, last I saw a Wombat, they were a "little" more than just a foot and a half high. ;)

Heh... I remember my Aunt in Australia accidentally reversing into one. There was a loud bump sound, then the Wombat padded off as though nothing had happened. :D

We were given this prompt the other day, in my creating writing class, to write in the perspective of someone else. I chose roadkill :D

I never finished the paper, but here's a little piece of what I wrote:

"One thing is for certain, they weren't sunbathing in a lounge chair when someone decided to run them over."
