I found such a photo on the Internet and became interested in what function such a structure could perform.

    These are great for wildlife as they provide a safe crossing over high-speed highways. They are usually design to be in already existing migration paths where moving a proposed highway may not work and not disrupting migration paths is of importance.

        Possibly but I’d think it’s still safer than vehicles and less disruptive to overall migration for a given species.

        I wonder if there’s been any studies showing how effective, if at all, these are.

          I’d like to read about that,understand how it’s done. it’s a thought I have whenever I see them but of course the professionals designing them would have thought about it.

            IIRC they just hire someone to sit there and say “shoo” at any potential predators

              How can I get this job? I’m almost 40 and I haven’t been eaten by a mountain lion yet. 100% success. I’m qualified.
