We lead off wildlife news today with a trio of cougar stories: A California woman recounts her harrowing experience with a pair of cougars that attacked her as she was walking her dog; Santa Paula, California, police felt compelled to shoot a 35-40 lb cougar found in the backyard of a home Tuesday; and a rash of false alarms about cougars in Minnesota has the population needlessly on edge, according to the next article. Moving to coyote stories next, an injured coyote was attended to by wildlife authorities in Georgia, but residents of an upscale housing development outside Atlanta are worried about coyote incursions. With the increase in sightings in urban and suburban environs, coyote educational meetings are being held in Texas, Colorado, and Massachusetts, as the next three articles show. Eagles are in the news next, leading off with an article about a pair of nesting eagles under close scrutiny from a webcam operated by CalTrans in Redding, California, followed by one about West Virginia wildlife officers capturing a golden eagle and, after installing a tracking device, releasing it back into the wild, and a third about how Audubon naturalists are excited over bald eagle activity in Rhode Island. A Labrador, Canada, resident had a bit of trouble with a polar bear that chased a dog under his front porch, and possums in Australia are having difficulties in two quarters: a disfiguring skin disease and feral felines. More info from Australia about the bushfire impact on wildlife in the region in the next story. And finally, there was a big stink in Big Blue's Minnesota office complex when an errant skunk entered through the loading dock
