Did I mention black panthers? Not joking.
The problem with BPs is that the victim's body is rarely found. Which means insurance policies don't have to pay out.
Make sure you get a policy that covers black panthers.

Chill. It's just wildlife doing what wildlife does.

The problem with humans is, they always think they're food for wildlife. Which is wrong except for polar bears and other extremely specific situations with specific animals.
Make sure to learn how to behave correctly to protect animals from humans before you visit a wilderness.
They hide once they hear or smell us coming.
That's what wildlife does.
But cars! We will all die!

I love the seriousness of the replies. Cracks me up.

Yes, but we live in a country where the deadliest animal is the deer*. Actual wildlife is scary - the only time I've successfully bunny hopped in my life was going over a snake in California on a sunny downhill stretch of trail at high speed.
* Normally around 20 deaths a year due to a car hitting a deer or swerving to avoid a deer and subsequently hitting something else much more solid

On a more serious note;
In my point of view this just proves how deadly the use of cars. You choose to sit into 1500 kg of metal which can go way too fast too easily.PaulB2 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 3:04 pm Yes, but we live in a country where the deadliest animal is the deer*.

It's the driver. Not the deer. Surely, we humans are at fault. Building cars and driving them.
Yet, I always read how scary this and that animal in the wild is, whilst oh so many sit in their car and hurry to what ever.
Reconsider.
Not too long ago, discussing the referendum against hunting (Switzerland this is) with a friend, I was asked if I drive a car. I said no and suggested that she was going to say something quite crazy; we should shoot more deer to prevent car accidents. I knew this would come so told her to just rethink how utterly perverted this view point is. How far have we humans come/gone/fallen/sunk?
This isn't aimed particularly at any specific person.
