Sharing the Road with Wildlife Sharing the Road with Wildlife Visitors to Tasmania are often distressed at the high number of road-killed animals they see.
Wildlife often cross Tasmania's country roads at night.
Being aware of this and taking care could save an animal's life and avoid damage to your car. Local populations of native animals have been known to become extinct due to road mortality. Remember that animals such as Tasmanian devils are very hard to see against a black bitumen road, particularly when it is wet. Driving more slowly at night will give both you and the animal a better chance of avoiding a collision. Take note of wildlife warning signs.
