Road Crosser 9 - Sabah, Malaysia
Until I could take a picture of an elephant crossing the road I think this would be the largest of the road crossers I've shot so far!
This water buffalo had to work although he would very much like to be soaking in his favourite mudhole! It looks as if he had dropped all the load in his sled and was walking across the road away in protest! But the fact is that his human minder had just unloaded the bunches of oil palm fruits (those reddish things on the roadside) and he's headed into the field for more! A hard working beast of burden he is! (My photo - 2008)

Canal-crosser 5 - De Kleine Deelen, The Netherlands
This post is made with the kind permission of A.B. van der Weide of the Netherlands who first posted this fantastic photo on photo.net with the title Braveheart! Braveheart has to be brave to lead his big harem of hens across the canal, hasn't he?!
He said: "...The photoslide is one of a series in which I saw a group of chicken crossing a plank. Just pure luck to get this one..., will never shoot such a lucky shot again."
Well, then why did the chicken cross the canal? I guess, if you got your geography right, because there are more canals than roads in Holland...

Road-crosser 2 - Sulawesi Selatan, Indonesia
This bird (it looks like a free-range broiler) was photographed crossing the narrow road of South Sulawesi somewhere in Bone District. Better hurry up because this van is driven by a crazy driver! (My photo - April 2008)

A wild red jungle fowl crossing a plantation road in Sabah (Borneo), Malaysia. Why did it cross the road? Donno, there's a car coming? (My Photo - January 2008)
