road kill

[serpenttongue]

This guy was 1 metre from a roadkilled kangaroo. No prizes for guessing what this Lacey was doing before it got hit.

I posted this one a while ago elsewhere. The head was run over and it died just as I got to it. It was obviously carrying young.

The pics don't do this poor DOR carpet justice.It was much more pail than the pics, more yellowish than caramel.
Sorry pics are crap, it was done with a mobile phone.

does anyone know the law as far as taxidermy goes, some of the road kills like the guy i found dont even have a mark on them and it just seems such a waste, my hubby tans his own skins after hunting and i dont know maybe some of the skins could be used

Hi Kel,

I'm not sure of the exact legislation now ... but I remember a few years ago in NSW at least even deceased native animals were still protected by law and permission was needed to perform taxidermy or remove them for preservation.

thanks froggyboy86 i kinda thought that might be the case, i will have to look into it

Ecosnake, is that 3rd pic a thorny devil?? correct me if im wrong but looks like it...

i agree it is sad to see all these animals/reptiles perish on our roads, but gives us an idea of what species are around us....

Hh, thats a shame. I might as well say that it was hungry and wanted the carrion for lunch, he made an attempt to come towards it, and then....BOOM! Poor lizard.
