Up in the North Country of New York, in the late spring the frogs begin mating... or something... and they come out at night after it rains. They hop onto the roads, going who-knows-where (maybe they don't even know!) and you run the risk of killing yourself trying to miss them, they are so thick.
Road-killed-flattened-frog is on the menu!! Yuk!!
Here in Arizona we have mass Tarantula crossings... talk about creepy!

| ...and what about squirrels??!! Man, those little critters freak me out in the road, "Do I go now? This way? NO Wait! That way? I know! I'll just sit here and see how long it takes her to swerve the car!" Gees! |

| OH! And in Australia it's the frilled lizard. They have great signs along the side of the road that say, "We like our lizards frilled not grilled." |

Theresa,
Since you brought up Australia, have you heard about the cane toads? HUGE things, all over. People make it a point to run over em with their cars - makes a sound like a popping balloon! Example of an invasive species in the wrong place going wild!!
Hmmm...will have to think about that chicken question...

Yes, Jayne. In fact, we saw some of them. Quite big and really nasty looking and the guides were quick to point out what a nuisance they are. How are you, BTW? |

Hi, Theresa. I'm doing great and all is well! Re the cane toads, I have a very amusing documentary tape about this problem. I first saw it in a human geography class and then bought it myself from Amazon (Cane Toads: An Unnatural History). You'd probably get a huge kick out of it, especially if you've actually seen the pesty critters.
Oops, sorry Adele. Off the chicken question...I'm still thinkin...

Why did the chicken cross the road?
