They travel the roads when they are ready to move, just ask the Neighbor Hood Watch how many they see at night.
Do their eyes shine green at night? The reason for my question is - I used to walk an elderly dog very early in the morning, when it was still quite dark. One morning we walked past one of the areas which abuts a preserve and there was something way ahead of us in the middle of the road, I thought I could make out in the dark that it was sort of longish and low to the ground and with really green shiny eyes. The hair went up on the dog's back and all over my body too and we took off for home. Have often wondered if I really saw something nasty or was it my imagination?
