Engine Compartment
Posted on Tuesday, August 19, 2008 in Model Tanks
Is it true that 1/3 of cat roadkill is the result of engine compartment hitchhiking?
I have heard that a large percent of dead cats and raccoons seen by the side of the highway are the result of animals hiding in engine compartments to stay warm. Then they jump out while the car is travelling and are run over by the vehicle they had been in or one that is following behind. Is this true?
I highly doubt it.
Most road kill is animals misjudging the speed of the vehicle and trying to get across the road at the wrong time. Sound bounces funny down at ground level and they get confused about the distance and speeds that way.
Raccoons, full grown, couldn't fit into the engine compartment of a car for warmth very easily, they run 25-30 pounds in some animals.
