      These nature crossings allow wildlife to move over large roads and highways without any danger. They also allow us to track populations based on the frequency of crossings. The only problem is animals gotta teach other animals about the crossing and until they do they won’t use it.

          The last line of their comment explains it: “The only problem is animals gotta teach other animals about the crossing and until they do they won’t use it.” The comic is showing a deer being confused by the crossing and another deer teaching

            I still don’t get it. Are we supposed to know that? And how is any part of that funny?

              A comic does not need to be funny, this one is informative and trying to show the world from the animals perspective.

                It’s so not informative? I don’t need comics to be funny to enjoy them. I just don’t understand it. Still.

                  Best advice I can give is to read all the comments explaining, or do like me and accept that there are many reasons for some memes/jokes to pass us by.

      My read of this is: Deer and squirrels tend to run in front of moving cars*. The two species are distressed that something interrupted their ability to bolt into traffic.

      *Where I live, obnoxiously and assertively so. The mule deer almost wait for cars to approach, run into the road, and then just stand there. Traffic-blocking protests have nothing on the deer.

      I think the humor is in thinking one deer was like “holy shit, I’ve got to tell the others” and then giving a formal presentation where the other deer are also like “holy shit”
