At which time of the day do you have to reckon with increased wild animals crossing?

You correctly identified that the times when wild animals are more likely to cross the road are at dusk and dawn. This is because many wild animals are crepuscular, meaning they are most active during these low-light periods. Reduced visibility during these times also makes it harder for drivers to see animals early enough to react safely. In contrast, at noon there is usually less animal activity and better visibility, so the risk of wild animals crossing is lower. Remembering that dawn and dusk are peak times for wildlife activity helps you stay extra alert and reduce speed to avoid accidents.
