On the Road with Wildlife

Watch for Wildlife!

• Drivers should be on the alert for deer, elk and other wildlife on the roads in Colorado. 

• Be particularly watchful at dawn and dusk

• Scan the roadside as well as the road ahead.

• At night, watch for shining eyes.

• Edges of roads that border agricultural fields or natural habitats are places to be particularly watchful for wildlife.

• Remember that where there is one animal crossing, there may be more, young animals following their mother or male animals pursuing a mate.
