Critters and roadkill

After seeing a lot of animals ourselves, like ground squirrels, coyotes, Elk, Bisons, pronghorns, lizards, and a small collection of insects... And after almost hitting an elk at night and a bison at dusk ourselves, we unhappily encountered some roadkill along the highways. The coyotes and smaller animals you see regularly run over alongside the road, so that's almost unavoidable. But our biggest shock was seeing five bloody elk in the shoulder of the road, and two more a bit further. That was a bit gruesome to be honest. The guy probably hit them in the middle of the night... Half a mile further we saw the skid marks by the side of the road. We will try to avoid this experience...
