What the sign says

Unattended animals may be on the road. The silhouette shown names the species mainly concerned.

The exam trap

Do not confuse it with the deer-crossing sign: this one means grazing animals, in areas no rule requires to be fenced, and during the moves to and from alpine pastures.

The signs are the official depictions by the Federal Roads Office, from the annexes of the Signalling Ordinance (SR 741.21): official works, unprotected under Art. 5 of the Copyright Act. The explanations, by contrast, are written from federal law — never taken from a third-party catalogue.
