speaking of this animal hitting thing. I have a question.

If i do hit one (knock on wood i hope i dont), do i stay at the scene and call the police? or should i keep driving and call the insurance company later on during the day? Like wouldn't the insurance company need to have someone check it out to see if your car was actually damaged because you hit an animal?

And im sure this is different from hitting a racoon which can cause minor bumper damage and hitting a deer which can cause some pretty severe damage to the front.
