Guanella Pass in Colorado, just east of the Continental Divide, we came across a group of 3 sheep. I stopped to take pictures, and of course, they wandered onto the road. This ram managed to stake his claim in the road just past a switchback. Luckily, the drivers were going slowly around the corner. He was in no hurry to join his friends in the trees to the south of the road.

The Alma Bridge Rd, Los Gatos, CA, has been repaved last year, without implicating any crossings for the over 5,000 newts that die here every year. Instead, we got this newt monument.

A sad and shocking image: a giant anteater mother with her cub at her side, with part of her organs exposed. Both of them have been roadkilled on BR-262, in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The scene was recorded on April 1st during Anteaters & Highways Project’s road monitoring from ICAS – Wild Animal Conservation Institute.
The bat was discovered as a road kill during our monthly road surveys conducted in Minneriya, Sri Lanka. The road where this bat was roadkilled, runs through a nationally protected forest area. We conducted monthly road surveys over two years and found that the number of bats that are hit by vehicles are high in September/ October.
