I have had wild horses, emus, an eagle, numerous kangaroos and a camel.
Car that overtook me hit the horse, I hit an emu, stopped just short of the eagle in an F100, it was taller than the bonnet, ended up just nudging the camel.
My brother on the other hand swerved to miss a dog and wrapped his Valiant Charger around a power pole.
I was thinking a moose or a bear when I wrote my comment and thought they would hurt.
Still best to avoid swerving.
Also shows why you need good lights and no distractions.
