WILDLIFE NEWS OF THE DAY - 032009

A California man, a motion-sensitive camera, and some pretty neat photos are discussed in the first wildlife news story today; and a cougar statue is raising funds to help Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve collar more cougars in Southern California. Wildlife officials released an eagle that had been shot last year back into the wilds of Wisconsin. Ohio urban areas are becoming homes for coyotes, as the next article shows; followed by an update on a mange-covered coyote that has haunted a California community and is being sought by a wildlife rescue group. Inhabitants of a Georgia community are worried about coyote incursions; but another article provides a dissertation on the benefit of wolves to the National Park ecosystem. Rabies cases are in the news today: Sacramento Animal Services warned residents about sick wildlife in their neighborhoods; residents of West Virginia communities are being warned about animals infected with rabies; a rabid skunk showed up in a northern Georgia community; and another critter infected with rabies in Pennsylvania concludes the set. A debate over the government-sanctioned poisoning of possums in New Zealand is raising a tiff; and we conclude with another story about the Healesville Wildlife Centre, where Sam the Koala was treated after firefighters brought her in from the Victoria bushfires.
