Our school is learning about the roadkill in Rye and Newcastle! For the last 8 weeks we have been recording the roadkill that we found. As you can see on the graph below the Gray Squirrels have been hit alot more than any of the other animals. Deers, raccoons, red squirrels, minks and mice have only been found once as roadkill. I think that Gray Squirrels have been hit the most because they can live very close to the road and if their is a tree dropping nuts or berries in the road the squirrels will want to get them.
