It's always nice to see cars yield for wildlife. But check out some of these unusual animal crossing signs. Check out more funny signs (and submit your own) at signspotting.com

Those Canadian deer are getting bigger every year.

I think the rhino one is a reference to the Rhinoceros Party

I think #3 is supposed to be a pangolin. I'd love to have that sign at the street in front of my house, but it might cause accidents.

Never-mind. There ARE no pangolins in Panama.... Just a regular ant-eater, I guess.

Anyone who has only ever seen a 'Deer Crossing' sign and not an actual deer will be very confused when they walk and don't leap all over the place.

In Southern Illinois, some roads are closed spring and fall for reptile crossings.

Um, yeah, they are. http://www.lib.niu.edu/2001/oi010315.html

We used to go walking at that time of year to see what snakes we could spot.

I love how the Japanese can turn anything into a goofy cartoon.

My favorite was a number of years ago when I was driving from Edinburgh to the site of the early Christian church at Abercorn. I was driving down a narrow road with dense plantings of tall, leafy trees and hedges...and there was a sign that said "caution! archery."

I honestly wondered if Robin and his lads were going to come running across in leotards and green hats... the other (maybe even better) was the sign proclaiming the name of a town near Copmanthorpe in Yorkshire, England. The sign (and the town's name): "LAND OF NOD"

Lived in Avalon NSW AU for a few years and we had a koala sign. Sadly, the colony hadn't been spotted for several years. The koala population of the northern beaches of Sydney is probably extinct now.

I've been to Waterton Lakes in Canada and the deer can get agressive. They are used to humans and will come right up to you and have no fear of people. We were there on vacation one year and one of my kids was eating something. The deer came right up to her in her face and tried to grab it. It was a little scary.

I once stayed at a camping area on the coast of Baja where a male deer was a permanent fixture. He had become dependent on the tourists, mostly divers who would typically party at night. So in addition to mooching food, he had learned to love beer and the occasional pint of tequila (maybe because the heat made any liquid desirable). But he was a mean drunk and would become aggressive, which entertained the older folks, but as a kid, it kind of shook me up....

Sure, everyone laughs at the North Vancouver rhinodeer sign ... until they get charged by one. They're ornery critters and they don't see too well. My advice is to stay south of the Harbour, in Vancouver proper.

On the lower elevation of Pike's Peak road there is a yellow crossing sign with a big harry ape-man silhouette.

:) Last month we drove out through some villages and as we came to one bend in a small village, there was a sign with a horse on it. Came around the bend, and sure enough, there was The horse standing in the middle of the road, in the middle of the village.

On these articles, "ever" should be replaced with "we could find."

Here's a couple of more that are rather bizarre.
