Deer crossing

ANIMALS ON THE MOVE

Deer jump in front of cars; toads wander across the asphalt and insects stick to windscreens. Many animal species cross our roads in search of food and mates. Animals often die during their migrations. Or, their habitats are separated. What are the solutions to this problem? With the help of hidden video traps and patient observations, the film promotes amazing insights into the behaviour of wildlife along roads.
