If you are driving in Australia it has to be kangaroos and wallaby's.
One of the most common ways by which kangaroos get killed is by cars. Kangaroos are active at night, often feeding by the side of the road where the grass tends to be greener. They are dazzled by the headlights of oncoming cars and trucks, often bounding across the road at the last moment, only to be hit.
Whilst tree kangaroos can leap agilely from tree branch to branch, they do jump down from trees. One of the main dangers to tree kangaroos comes from being hit by cars. Only tree kangaroos are able to leap between tree branches. The other 60 or so species of kangaroos do not climb trees.
None. Despite the fact that kangaroos are known to occasionally attack people, the only recorded fatality of a person by a kangaroo happened in 1936, in New South Wales. In this instance, a man was killed when he tried to rescue his dogs who were actually attacking the kangaroo. Kangaroos jumping out in front of cars do contribute to car accidents. Meanwhile, both cyclists and motocyclists have been killed directly when they have hit these animals on the road, but this is uncommon, and no statistics are available.
In some agricultural areas of Australia, kangaroos are killed (or culled) because they are regarded as a pest to farmers. Kangaroos are also harvested from wild populations, and killed for their meat. One of the most common reasons for kangaroos to get killed is by cars. Kangaroos are active at night, often feeding by the side of the road where the grass tends to be greener. They are dazzled by the headlights of oncoming cars and trucks, often bounding across the road at the last moment, only to be hit.
