I think they aim for the moving wheel.  Don't ask me why.  I nearly 
hedged my old XJ on a couple of occassions avoiding wildlife around the 
back roads, and missed a huge rabbit by about half a millimeter a few 
months ago doing about 20mph.  I'd braked from 60 when I saw him, and he 
STILL managed to scamper under the front wheel.  If I had kept doing 60, 
he might have stayed where he was, or he might have got under the wheel. 
  I suppose with these things we'll never know.

Trying to understand animals is impossible.  In the words of a long 
forgotten acquaintance:

"They're just not human"
