WILDLIFE NEWS OF THE DAY - 030409

Many articles in wildlife news today concern cats and dogs, so we'll lead off with the cats: South Dakota wildlife officers report the killing of a 2-year-old cougar; but when pitted against a pack of wolves in Idaho, a male cougar hardly stood a chance. Residents of Kansas may be having visitations from some cougars; while two women reportedly chased off a mountain lion that was tracking them in British Columbia, Canada. Reports of rabid skunks come from Montana and Kansas today. Ahhhh, springtime in the Ozarks: wildflowers blooming, birds singing... and skunks stinking! UC Davis had to put down a bald eagle who had been most prolific; while the next article provides some details on bear kills in the Northeast. Warnings to residents of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, went out today in regards to an injured coyote; and Madison, Wisconsin, is scheduling educational meetings for residents in regards to coyotes in an urban environment; while an Illinois hunter discusses how new neighbors are moving in. And finally, motherhood is truly blind, as our last article demonstrates.
