WILDLIFE NEWS OF THE DAY - 022609

A woman in Southern California is gunning for a cougar that has clawed her horse; but wildlife biologists are excited about the capture and release (with a tracking collar) of a jaguar by the Arizona Game and Fish Department. A tiny dog made the mistake of taking on a coyote that happened into her play area, with deadly consequences; while wildlife officials provide some advice to residents of Denver; and a coyote tip line has been setup by city officials there. Concerned citizens in Central California are writing letters to a local paper about coyote incursions in the next article; followed by one from Florida about a coyote that made lunch out of a cat. A 3-4 foot tall black bear was spotted in a Louisiana parish by animal control officers; while the next article provides an interesting look into the world of polar bears. Rabies struck a pair of raccoons collected by animal control officers in North Carolina; and a stealthy raccoon has been collared at the White House and moved to an undisclosed location. In a case of 'beauty and the beast', a rare golden possum was spared by the hunter who snared her due to her beauty. A pair of stories about the dangers wildlife pose to joggers concludes the News Of The Day today - it's a jungle out there!
