Wild animals particularly large ones almost certainly require more respect, ie unlikely it just took a dislike to the car tyre.
Even large domestic animals or even not so large ones can pose a risk if
one is unwise, particularly ones that graze on open land, even stuff like sheep and upland ones which arenrCOt heavy pose a risk to even cars even if itrCOs unlikely to cause a crash 30/40KG impact is quite a hit!
And so being wary of undergrowth and particularly sheep that might want to cross! They also like to sleep on the roads so if out early.
Lowland sheep are rather larger but also tend to be in fields than open
land.

In fairness, bison are in rutting season, when all behavior
is both random and frenetic.

England is re-introducing the European Bison:

You might want to check if your spare tire and automobile insurance
are functional.

Speaking of fire in the UK, I received the following note via a
friend. I don't know the original source. From what little I've read online, the situation sounds grim. I suspect that the UK night need
to adjust its priorities in the near future:
More than 250,000 evacuated as wildfires rage in France and Spain
"The road was closed between Axminster and Exeter due to a wildfire on
both sides of the main road on Friday. My lawn grass is brown!
Apparently our government has not taken water usage into account for
all the AI data centres. Another body has said that we only have
enough water for another 420,000 homes and the government wants to
build 1,500,000. Considering the amount of rain the UK gets, this is
grim. Because we have built on the land so much, we need the rain to
drain quickly away from housing into the rivers so the rain doesn't
have time to go through the soil into the water table. It's a case of
bad management of resources."
For controlling the ground water absorption rate, perhaps hiring some
experts might help?
