Colorado is renowned for its abundant wildlife, and it's not uncommon to encounter animals while driving through the state's rural areas. This video serves as a reminder to always be vigilant and watch out for animals that may appear on the road.

Of course, if you come across an animal crossing the road, the best course of action is to stop and wait for it to move, but only when it is safe to do so. It is advisable to avoid stopping on rolling hills or near blind turns where visibility may be limited for approaching vehicles.
