UC Davis researchers have started a website that maps California roadkill.

Volunteers comb the state’s roads for dead animals, collecting species information and GPS coordinates, and upload it to the California Roadkill Observation System. A Google map loaded with dots shows the accidents, and a gruesome gallery includes photos of flattened squirrels and squashed skunks.

The founders hope to soon hire a software engineer to design a smartphone app.


When it's an app, I'm definitely downloading it. I mean, tacos just don't fill themselves.
