While driving in very rural Australia years ago I was repeatedly warned to slam on my brakes immediately if I saw a Kangaroo successfully cross the road in front of me.... because it was very likely a herd of Kangaroos was about to follow the first Kangaroo and hitting the following herd could easily be fatal.

Many mining towns also had a pair of employees on snake elimination duty.

Bee stings and deer/elk collisions kill way more than Sharks, but do not bring out the fear.

In this thread there are alot of missing members.
Infolinks repeated made my reply hard to complete.

This reminds me of the story when the lady called in the radio station to complain about the deer crossing signs and placement.

Here in Michigan (North or Detroit) we carry 2 ice scrapers in the truck . . . one for the windshield and one to scrape the deer guts off the bumper.
