appeared in from of my car driving the country side.

According to this article http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/pda/200 ... gitalmedia the little guy was eventually able to walk away under its own power. Poor thing.

With as many miles as they drive, I wonder how many hapless squirrels, rabbits, and skunks they've run over in the time they've been doing the street-level mapping? Would be interesting to see if they happen to keep that kind of "roadkill stats". I know I've hit my fair share of "small game" while driving my company vehicle.

I've nearly had a few rabbits on my motorbike. Do my best not to hit them as I don't want to end up sticking out of a hedge!
Nearly had a low flying wood pigeon join me inside my crash hat once. That would have hurt if it had connected... :worried:

I hit a pheasant on my advanced course a few years ago. Just walked out from a hedge and into the road. Stupid dumb bird. 8)

Over in the blink of an eye.There was nothing left. Not even enough for a kebab. :(

Back in the 1960s, one of my colleagues in Brisbane had an early-morning student job collecting roadkill for a petfood manufacturer. :agree:
