WILDLIFE NEWS OF THE DAY - 030209

A Minnesota neighborhood got a four-legged visitor wandering through the snow drifts; next up, mirror-image articles: hunters are getting excited about the possibility of the first bear hunt in San Luis Obispo County, California; while a bear biologist in West Virginia discusses a reversal of policy there. The Humane Society of Canada provides some guidelines for human-coyote cohabitation in the following article. After a pack of coyotes killed his dog, a retired Marine has armed himself with a .22 and night vision goggles to turn the hunters into the hunted; but a Detroit suburb fed up with unsuccessful efforts to catch three wily coyotes have just decided to let them be. An Illinois city girl waxes rhapsodic about lots of bald eagle sightings on a trip to the country; and a story out of West Virginia provides an eyewitness account about 'playing possum'. Debate continues in Terra Haute, Indiana, over the veracity of cougar sightings; but there's no mistake about skunk sightings (or smellings) in Oklahoma, as mating season gets underway. Finally, Russian strongman Vladimir Putin showed his kinder side by condemning seal hunts in the Arctic.
