Not a Leg to Stand On C7A1137 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: Many people complain about animals using our roads. After all, we created the roads so that we can get from place to place more easily. We don’t need animals getting in our way. But humans are not the only animals that create paths to facilitate their travels. In fact, many animals do. Bison frequently travel along the same trampled paths in snow. Deer create footpaths through brambles. More noteworthy is the fact that many animals appreciate our roads for exactly what they are… paths that facilitate their travels, and so they use them. This coyote practically flies down this open, plowed road rather than sinking chest deep and expending unnecessary energy trudging through the snow. You may complain, but like the coyote in this photo, you haven’t got a leg to stand on!
