Wildlife Crossing

This sign is no joke! From ducks to kangaroos, and centipedes of course included, wildlife very frequently crosses the road in Australia. Everywhere.

The three pictures were taken in Western Australia during a one week span, but the same abundance of wildlife intersecting paths with the humans is one of the signatures of Australian life.

Unfortunately, very often the wildlife crossing is in danger and gets killed, as we saw in Kangaroo Island, where more kangaroos littered the roads than jumped on the sides. My favorite picture, the one where the duck is crossing in front of the sign warning of ducks crossing, is not the best shot I could take, but is the most accurate warning I have ever seen on a road.
