Note that wombat roadkill seldom displays any sign of destruction and little if any splatter. They must make a horrible dent in your car, the sturdy little buggahs.

Special thanks to M and D for thinking of me on their recent road trip. My car was going too fast to stop and take pictures this weekend...
Pretty Kitty
One of the advantages of my roadkill hobby is the opportunity to get up close and personal with animals that would otherwise avoid or eat you. I have a recurring fantasy that I will begin to collect specimens for preservation, but despite my fascination, I am still squeamish about touching dead things...much more so about putting them in my trunk.
Is the red X necessary?
If there was no red X, would the guy who drives by in the road kill collection truck just leave a dead wombat on the side of the road?
And, yes, I do have the license plate.
Smells Like KGB
Many people will admit that a brief waft of skunk scent while driving down a country highway is not altogether unpleasant. I assure you, such is not the case when standing this close.
Half Deer
It took me a long time to figure out just what had happened here. I imagined the back half of this deer wedged under some bumper driving down A1A until I realized this deer was probably not road kill at all but more likely the victim of poaching. Still, I was once more amazed by the veritable rainbow of color that exists inside ungulates. Lucky this website is not smell-o-rama enabled.
