Another Dislike:
When squirrels cross the street and are 3/4 across then they see my car coming and turn around and go back to start over again. Makes me feel bad.
Aww..... You're a sweetheart man.
Around us, the deer seem to be pretty adept at figuring out what the cars are doing.
We have deer here but I rarely see them. However now that you bring it up on my way home from Melbourne last week there was a deer just chilling and grazing on the side of 95. Like right on the side, a yard away from getting hit by a car in the right hand lane, maybe two yards.
I do also see them frequently from the monorail going from magic Kingdom to the parking lot I think they know they're safe there so there's a shit ton of them.
Up in PA our deer were not like yours. Maybe things have changed in 21 years but when I would go from Philly to Penn State I would have a real fear of deer jumping out in the middle of the road. There were multiple times when it happened and I simply got lucky that they weren't close enough for me to hit. Same thing went for driving local roads in the Penn State area.
Turkeys are kind of in between those two. They seem to be aware of when they are in the way of cars, but they have the whole family crossing, so they just go.
That's jive.
Which kind of makes them endearing. They have little to no defenses yet aren't worried about that and are still perfectly happy to be complete assholes all the time.
