The "fish" bit threw me off a bit, made me think of Jaws; maybe it should've been "deadly cetacean" or something.

{#Cheers} Yeah, that was pretty brilliant. It's my favorite novel, but I couldn't have captured it so well it in six words like that.

I think he did break out the vehicle type. 88% trucks/SUV among the swervers.

Interesting study; they should've broken down the vehicle type among those who deliberately hit the animals - the results would probably be less surprising than the animal types.
I recently re-read that book, specifically looking for important imagery for my entry in our local library's Banned Books Week project:

As you can see, I didn't use the turtle imagery.
