Does that work on road kill?
I once killed a bird. Three of them were eating berries off the surface of a paved MUP. As I approached, two of them, using the flight tool and sense they had been hatched with, flew to safety in the air. One of them flew in front of me. I overtook him (because I was that fast) and one of his wings hit my front spokes. He was thrown to the surface of the trail. Poor guy let out a peep just before his neck exploded under the weight of my front tire. Used my pump to push his lifeless body into the grass and finished my ride.
