WILDLIFE NEWS OF THE DAY - 031709

Leading off wildlife news today, is the financial crunch making non-profits trying to help wildlife an endangered species? Coyote experts discuss the reality of today's urban coyote environment; but in Mississippi, a covey of sandhill cranes were decimated by coyotes upon release from a wildlife center there. A Massachusetts community is apprised of wildlife activity and protecting their pets. An eagle-cam in Virginia is broadcasting hatchlings in action. A cougar has once again been seen prowling the periphery of Santa Paula, California; and Santa Rosa also had a cougar sighting. Some New York state folks are interested in getting a better look at their feline neighbors. In Minnesota, a wildlife shelter proves that domestic animals and wildlife can get along (although barking domestic pets may prompt an attack!) Wildlife in the Louisiana bayou country is thriving. Here's another one of those unintended consequences of wildfires - elephant incursions into Indian villages! In a controversial move, the Australian Capital Territory government has decided to shoot kangaroos, Australia's national symbol, due to a population explosion in the region. And finally, the Skunk From Hell!
