🎶 Waddling along near automobiles..

The pavement is warming up. Every year, Porcupines line the shoulder of the highways, run over by drivers. Could have been a child, drive more careful. Also, next month is Turtle season. #DriveResponsibly #Porcupine #Nature

@Rasta @NormanDunbar Build critter under / over passes. too.
@donhawkins @Rasta Definitely. There are way too many dead Badgers and Roe Deer around here by the roads.

@NormanDunbar @donhawkins
In many places, they have those bridges or tunnels for big animals, but not little ones. And, you can't coral a Porcupine, but I did make a pet of one, but he refused to come out of that tree, so I had to take his leash off.

Do you know what it costs, and takes to get a bridge or tunnel? In BC, Canada, I encountered something close to my heart, Turtle migration. A big boy pond on the right, and a girl pond on the left, and 100 turtles crossing a highway every year and not even a warning sign. And people go out of their way to hit them on the shoulder. Not even a sign or speed reduction from full highway speed. I wrote some minister at the time, Natural Resources or such, about what I saw on one day, maybe 50 turtles squashed. Heartbreaking

@Rasta @NormanDunbar @donhawkins
My big heartbreak is for toads
If it can be done without risking my life I stop and take them across

@Pierrette @donhawkins @Rasta I used to have four North American Bullfrogs, which I raised from tadpoles. I kept them for years. When they eventually died, I had them made into a pair of open toad sandals! 😀

Ok, I'm joking about the sandals, not about my frogs. I'm a big fan of reptiles and amphibians.

@NormanDunbar me too!!!! I love gekos a lot @donhawkins @Rasta
