Waze team, please restore the dedicated "Animals" reporting option—it's far different from "Object on road." Objects are static, so drivers scan the roadway expecting a fixed obstacle of unknown size. Animals move unpredictably, often from the roadside, where they can suddenly dart into traffic. Lumping them together reduces vigilance for this unique hazard and endangers drivers. Bring it back!

I just passed about 15 deer grazing right next to the road on a stretch of highway where deer are commonly hit and the speed limit is 75. It would be great to warn other drivers. I suggest an animals category under hazards.

It would be nice if the Waze app would bring back animal “sightings” or hazard notifications since in rural Canada this can be very much so beneficial for moose, deer sightings etc.

It would be nice to be able to report whenever "Animal Activity" whenever we notice or see animals crossing the road. Theh often don't come alone and it would allow other drivers to be made aware and so drive more carefully/ be more cautious

I saw a deer on the side of the road and reported "Object on road" because the option to report the deer is gone. Moments later an accident was reported in the same area, I can only guess what happened.

It would be excellent if there were alerts and an icon on screen when I am in a zone where it's very highly possible for animals to cross (road signs)

Actually insane this feature was removed. I used this all the time to mark deer on the side of the road. This was one of the features that could actually save a life and you remove it?

I would like to suggest a Live Animal or Wildlife button under Hazard category to notify drivers especially of a night of the potential risk of hitting an animal

We live in Northern NY and guess what? We have deer all over and farms that have animals that get out of the fences. Save a life, report it!

This is really important, because it can really prevent many drivers from crashing into the wild animals near the road!

Can we have a hazard option for live animals? I live in an area where deer frequent the road and that can be very dangerous. Most times you can’t see them until you are on top of them. By adding this hazard drivers could be notified to at least watch for them and slow down.

Il arrive souvent de rencontrer des animaux en divagation sur les routes corses, bovins, porcins, ovins, caprins.... Il serait très utile de pouvoir signaler ce danger aux autres usagers sur waze.
Souhaitable donc de créer ce nouveau type d'alerte "animal en divagation".
Merci

Why remove an useful alert to warn the community of a probable animal crossing the road

Would be nice to have a animal warning feature since there are a lot of deers on the freeways and roads

I think you should be able to report animals like deer on the map. You should also be able to report roadkill.

Dear Waze Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I’m writing to suggest a small but potentially impactful addition to your hazard reporting menu: an “Animal” option.

As a frequent driver across both rural and urban roads, I often encounter animals on the carriageway — whether it’s live deer, cows, or unfortunate roadkill. These sightings occur on both lit and unlit roads, and they pose a real safety risk to drivers, especially at speed or in low visibility.

Adding “Animal” as a selectable hazard would allow users to quickly flag these locations, helping others approach with caution. Even a rough location marker would be valuable, particularly if the animal is moving or the hazard is temporary. It’s a simple tweak that could enhance driver awareness and potentially prevent collisions or distressing encounters.

Thanks for all the work you do to keep roads safer and smarter. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this suggestion.

Add animal option so cars know to slow down for oncoming alive deer/ birds etc near or crossing the road, especially for highways and backroads at night!

I'm not sure why this hazard was removed from Waze, but I feel like it was very helpful and can save lives of both humans and animals.

Bring this back" animal on shoulder ahead"

Alert for when animals are seen crossing such as deer, longer persistence than other alerts to help make drivers aware
