Almost run over today!

I was riding fast down a fire road today and a (very) large weaned calf lept through the bushes and across the road right in front of me. I don't know what was more comical, the calf's face or my friends' behind me. They thought I was a goner. I was more concerned when his big long-horned mama ran out to see the commotion.
And I thought cars were dangerous...

And to think I was worried about the little chipmunks, squirrels and turtel I came across on my last ride! I couldn't imagine what I'd do if something that big ran in front of me. Glad to hear you missed them & all is ok.....

I wonder which would hurt more-Running over a dead kangaroo or running into a calf...

I almost ran over a dead roo a few months back....not something i suggest...

What's even freakier is having a roo pass you at 10pm on the trail & almost hitting it....

You crazy Aussies! 'Roos and kiwis and koalas and wombats and all kinds of crazy things. I guess you could treat a dead roo like a log and jump over it...squish.

Luckily for cc, kiwis are rare, nocturnal and live on the other side of the Tasman.

Oops...sorry to misplace my fauna. (Now where are my gloves, I think I left them in my friend's truck.)

May be they smelled that burger on your breath!
