00:03so i recently heard a story from one of my neighbors
00:06okay it's the andy summer show uh we were in a big text group and one of my neighbors
00:12embarrassed his wife via the text message i can't remember the context but basically it came up that
00:19his wife had once asked the whole family in the car how do deers know to cross at the deer
00:29crossing sign oh no yeah i've heard this before
00:35and andy just like you i'm like oh my gosh because you see those right you see those signs
00:42like hey deer crossing and this is not like a witch came first the chicken or the egg
00:46they don't put up the signs hoping their deer read them right however that got me thinking i found
00:54this cup of joy there is a wildlife overpass that has been built in colorado it's actually
01:01the country's largest wildlife overpass so this is a bridge over a highway that is strictly for
01:09animals to be able to get over the highway i love that keep it for everyone and the numbers are
01:15in
01:15yeah 91 percent of vehicle animal collisions that's the reduction 91 percent reduction
01:27that's so think about i mean i i know this sounds silly but like i always put things in real
01:30numbers
01:31right if there's a thousand of them right now there's only 900 of them if there's a hundred of
01:39them there's only nine of them that is such an incredible decrease yeah and these animals they
01:45know where to cross they because they see the sign they see the sign what if there was a light
01:51do they know lights red light green light i think i think it's green both ways two way come on
01:58down elk
01:59get on over here skunk squirrel moose come on down folks i wonder that if they end up meeting each
02:06other on the bridge right like do they are like maybe two animals that normally wouldn't wouldn't
02:12bump into each other are like hey let's let's cross the bridge today we'll see if we can find some
02:17new
02:17species maybe there's some like romeo and juliet like you know love story i'm from the other side of
02:23the bridge you know and two deer meet up in the middle and their families are feuding you know you
02:28got the south and the north side deer the copula in montague yeah exactly it could be a real thing
02:35so to this wildlife overpass and these animals they know where to cross and to my neighbor sierra

02:48only
