Survival Instincts?

[Lord_Shleepy]

I was reminded of this discussion today as two birds dove suicidally into the path of my car on the way home from work. Poor shtupid horny creatures.

Add that to the possum that sat, growling stubbornly underneath my car...despite engine noise, honking, and backing up over it's tail and you get buckets of animal self elimination. I had to scoop that one off the driveway with a shovel - it was gnawing at the gardening tool the entire time...still unconvinced that it was better off wandering happily in the wilds than sitting in my driveway waiting to be run over or dog-eaten...or run over and dog eaten.

I swear that these critters are nearly as dumb as people sometimes!
