    Cubs will be above ground now and following the mother while she forages for food. Maybe a combination of inexperienced cubs, knackered mothers and increased road traffic.

    I don't know, but it makes sense that they'd be pushed out to make room for this years cubs that'll be weaned soon.

    I think it's the same process with foxes.

    Yes Spring/Summer, and that is indeed, the main reason for increased roadkills at this time of year.
