WILDLIFE NEWS OF THE DAY - 021309

Scientists in Alberta, Canada are checking up on the mountain lion population there and their interaction with people living in the area, while horseback riders were offered a presentation about riding in Colorado's backcountry, along with cautions about encounters with wildlife, and another article out of Colorado discusses the current hot topic in that state: coyotes. Two stories out of Michigan today: a gated community in Detroit is becoming annoyed with a trio of coyotes roaming the neighborhood, and officers investigating a coyote complaint from a local business made a bizarre discovery in Kalamazoo. An emaciated young cougar that came to visit a mobile home in King City, California, slipped away before wildlife officers arrived, but another in Oregon that was suspected of killing livestock (including 13 sheep in one night) wasn't so lucky. In Ohio, a woman put her car in a ditch avoiding a coyote on the road, and residents of greater Los Angeles are very concerned about the coyote incursions that have claimed numerous pets.
