I've never hit an animal, but I have run over a squirrel once. I was going about 60 mph down a two lane road when the squirrel shot out in front of me. There wasn't anything I could do without risking wrecking my car, so I watched helplessly as the squirrel went under my car. I didn't feel a thump, I looked in the rearview mirror to see the squirrel turn around an run back to the side of the road. My car had enough ground clearance and the squirrel was lucky enough to miss my tires.
