Roadkill is often consumed by scavengers, including various birds such as vultures, ravens, and crows. Mammals like raccoons, opossums, and foxes also take advantage of this food source. Additionally, smaller animals like rodents and insects may feed on the remains. Scavenging helps clean up the environment and provides essential nutrition for these species.

Are there any laws on picking up roadkill?

Strangely enough, I believe in England, if I run down and killed a pheasant, stopped and picked up the dead bird to eat, I would be classed as poaching. But if the car behind stopped and picked up the dead pheasant, that would be roadkill, and legal. To be on the safe side, just ensure there is nobody about - bon appétit!
