Ability to update the map with a Deer or other wild animal as the hazard

Post by JCanfield187
I live 45 miles west of DC in northern Va and we have unlimited amounts of deer, possum, cows, goats etc. Deer will stand 2-4 feet off the pavement / road eating but within a split second they can jump into the road causing terrible damage to the vehicle that hit the deer / animal. Even with just 45 seconds to a min warning from an animal hazard added to the map by another driver it could prevent accidents and save lives.

Thanks in advance!!!

A data point...in previous versions of Waze there was a report for animals on the side of the road.  This may still be available in Android Auto or Carplay as they haven't transitioned to the new reports.
