Roadkill is a surprising and untapped source for scientists

Millions of animals unfortunately die on roads each year, but the casualties hold important data. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. As much as people try to avoid it (and not contribute to it), the untimely animal deaths are an unfortunate, inevitable byproduct of a society reliant on cars. In Brazil alone, it's estimated that anywhere between two and eight million birds and mammals are killed on roadways every year. In Europe, the potential tally may climb as high as 194 million .
