If the photo grosses you out, don’t look. I am getting ready for my morning walk before it gets too hot. No matter where I walk, I always keep my eyes opened wide for snakes, bikers, cars, and dog poo that someone neglected to...

Oh, the Armadillos

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 22 Oct

Whenever I drive through Missouri, I'm struck by how many armadillos line the roadside. But here's the thing—they're all dead! Every last one. I don't think I've ever seen a living armadillo in my life. It's like they're...

So after removing the pheasant I mentioned in my last post, I flung it into the bushes thinking a visiting fox would probably appreciate it. But then I started thinking.... Well, I like pheasant, And this one certainly doesn’t...

Roadkill!

Bill McAlpine @ScotMac (1335) • Edinburgh, Scotland 14 Oct 20

I found this dead badger on a road near my home. There isn't a mark on it but it's obviously been hit by a car. I live in a semi-rural area and roadkill like this is quite common. Badgers are a frequent victim closely followed by...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381760) • Rockingham, Australia 29 Jul 20

A euro gets a bath he didn't bargain on

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381760) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Jul 18

We spent two nights in the Flinders Ranges in South Australia. If we thought we saw a lot of roadkill in Tasmania, we’ve seen a darn sight more in this area. Often there will be carcasses of dead animals at least every few hundred...

This Shouldn't Be Funny....

Becky @mommymonky (325) 2 Dec 16

I was driving my fiancé to work the other day, and there was a dead rabbit in the middle of the road. That in itself is far from funny, but laying in the ditch a ways up was an Easter basket. Which I thought was odd for...

Turkey Anyone?

Morley Hunt @Morleyhunt (21741) • Canada 17 Dec 15

The rural area near my home is populated by an assortment of wild animals and birds. At night, we often listen to the yapping and howling of the coyotes. They can be heard, early and late, to the north, south, east and west. We...

Pigglies @Pigglies (9329) • United States 10 Aug 08

I try my best to avoid animals on the road. I've never hit one yet unless you count insects, in which case, thousands have landed on my windshield. But if your dog or cat runs in front of my car, it has pretty good chances of...

Have you ever run over or hit a pet or animal?
