Deer, bear, ducks, raccoons and moose are just some of the wildlife that can be found in the region, and the Mounties are urging drivers to keep a sharp eye out for them — especially at night.
“By taking safety precautions, drivers can reduce risks and help save lives of people and wildlife,” said Corp. Dal Hutchinson, a spokesperson for the Nova Scotia RCMP.
