Dead Animal Survey

...did another dead animal survey coming into work today... in the approx. 37 mile drive to work i spotted

1 dead tarantula,
1 dead Jack Rabbit,
1 dead opossum,
3 dead raccoons,
2 dead deer,
1 dead armadillo, and
1 dead something-or-other.

I also saw 1 live deer crossing traffic in front of me.

That's a total of 10 dead animals on the side of the road or splattered in the middle of the road driving in to work today between Wimberley, Tx. and Austin, Tx.

I stopped and took a picture of one dead raccoon.

Officially this is all known as roadkill (one word i think), but this nomenclature tends to downplay and even jest about what is simply dead animals on the side of the road run over by automobiles. The Texas Hill Country (this area) should be deemed the Dead-Animals-on-the-side-of-the-Road capital of the world.
