why did the animal not cross the road?

My son wants to know how Some animals cross the road without getting hit by cars, etc.
DO they see other animals getting hit, or are they just afraid of the huge things that zoom by?
thank you from mango aka sterling

Tell your son:

“Yes, that is exactly why they don’t cross the road. They have learned from the example of their peers, who were far less intelligent than you are.”

Trust me on this.

What do you mean, animals? Some people cross the road without getting hit by cars…while others (especially in the Southeastern U. S.) are not so lucky. Tell your son it’s all part of Natural Selection.

Thanks for the pointless regional slam.
