In the first piece in the “Wildeor Voices” series, Greg Costello discusses road crossings from the perspective of those who rely on them – the animals themselves. The deer, cougars, bears, birds, and monkeys have families, communities, and stories of their own that are too often ended by collisions with cars. Magpies have funerals for their dead; rhesus monkeys carry injured friends off the road; cougars travel thousands of miles to find a home.
Greg gives life to the wild animals as fellow beings.
