Whether it's a wayward squirrel doing the back and forth dance on the double yellow lines, or a baby deer and its mom leaping across two lanes of traffic, wildlife in the road is a way of life up here.
The thought of your home catching fire, especially when you're not home but your animals are, is a thought we don't often like to have running through our minds.
When it comes to wildlife here in the Pine Tree State, we are pretty lucky not to have alligators that could rip us limb from limb, snakes that could kill us with a quick bite and release of poisonous venom or spiders the size of softballs.
