Road ecology blog: Combined drainage and escape for small animals under wildlife guard, Arizona, USA.
Combined drainage and escape for small animals under wildlife guard, Arizona, USA. The openings on the side allow for drainage under the culvert. The openings also allow invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles, small mammals and other species that may fall in between the metal bars to escape. For wildlife guards that have a fully enclosed pit with contiguous walls sometimes wooden planks or metal strips are attached, allowing animals to climb out of the pit.
