00:00so i recently heard a story from one of my neighbors okay it's the andy summer show uh
00:04we were in a big text group and one of my neighbors embarrassed his wife via the text message
00:11i can't remember the context but basically it came up that his wife had once asked
00:19the whole family in the car how do deers know to cross at the deer crossing site oh no yeah
00:27i've
00:27heard this before and andy just like you i'm like oh my gosh because you see those right you see
00:37those
00:37signs like hey deer crossing and this is not like a witch came first the chicken or the egg
00:42they don't put up the signs hoping their deer read them right however that got me thinking i found this
00:50cup of joy there is a wildlife overpass that has been built in colorado it's actually the country's
00:58largest wildlife overpass so this is a bridge over a highway that is strictly for animals
01:06to be able to get over the highway i love that keep it for everyone and the numbers are in
01:11yeah 91
01:1391 percent of vehicle animal collisions that's the reduction 91 percent reduction that's so think
01:23about i mean i i know this sounds silly but like i always put things in real numbers right
01:27if there's a thousand of them right now there's only 900 of them if there's a hundred of them there's
01:35only nine of them that is such an incredible decrease and these animals they know where to cross
01:43they because they see the sign they see the sign what if there was a light do they know lights
01:49red light green light i think i think it's green both ways two way come on down elk get on
01:56over here
01:56skunk squirrel moose come on down folks i wonder that if they end up meeting each other on the bridge
02:03right like do they are like maybe two animals that normally wouldn't wouldn't bump into each other
02:09are like hey let's let's cross the bridge today we'll see if we can find some new
02:13species maybe there's some like romeo and juliette like you know love story i'm from the other side of
02:19the bridge you know and two deer meet up in the middle and their families are feuding you know you
02:24got the south and the north side deer the copula in montague yeah exactly it could be a real thing
02:31so to this wildlife overpass and these animals they know where to cross and to my neighbor sierra
02:37sorry for calling you out on the radio oh my gosh jeff okay well your neighbor's wife is not the
02:44only
02:44person that believes that because there was this like viral video going around of this woman calling
02:51into a radio station to make that same complaint because deers kept hitting her car and uh she was
03:00like why aren't they just moving this deer crossing sign so the deers cross somewhere else
03:06oh no so she was mad that like the city or the township or whatever had him in these specific
03:13areas like the high on the side of the highway yes yeah honestly this will make my neighbor feel a
03:18lot
