Rhino Crossing Ahead

A 2008 U.S. Department of Transportation report concluded that about 5 percent of U.S. motor vehicle collisions, or between 1 and 2 million crashes per year, involve animals. That number reflects an increase of approximately 50 percent between 1990 and 2004, when deer populations grew and Americans racked up more and more miles in their cars. When it comes to AVCs, large animals do the most damage, and fast animals are most likely to dart into the road unexpectedly. But few potential roadkill have the moose?s combination of size, speed, and proximity to traffic. Camels and horses may be similar in speed and size to moose, but they tend to be tied up or confined.
