Road ecology blog: maintenance and design issues with wildlife fences, Brazil
Image below: a maintenance problem: An animal (probably a nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus)) dug a gap under a wildlife fence, burrow is visible on road side of the fence, SP-225 motorway, near Brotas, São Paulo, Brazil. If this gap gets bigger overtime, other species, including medium and large sized mammals may be able to enter the fenced road corridor.
