WILDLIFE NEWS OF THE DAY - 030609

First up in wildlife news today, the remains of a deceased cougar cub were spotted by CHP in Napa, California; followed by two other cougar stories: residents of Sonoma County, California, are being briefed on cougar behavior and avoidance; and speculation about the origins of a Wisconsin mountain lion appear in the next article. Two stories about animal rescue outfits (one from Canada and one from Australia) follow. Colorado Springs is having some unwanted visitors; and a jogger was bitten by an aggressive coyote in Texas. A pretty pathetic coyote is haunting a San Antonio, Texas, suburb; while a Colorado community gets an education on coyotes. The hawk that was stuck in the grill of an SUV is improving; and there are two success stories about bald eagle population explosions in Indiana and Illinois. The post-mortem of an aggressive Virginia raccoon revealed that it was rabid; but National Geographic reports on a novel way of saving bats suffering 80% mortality rates in the Northeast: bat boxes!
