In wildlife news today, a cougar was apparently killed in a traffic collision in San Jose, California; and another warning went out to Paradise, California, residents following an apparent cougar attack on some penned goats. A mountain lion in Oregon may have gotten another reprieve, as a local zoo could take it in, sparing it from being euthanized; while a mountain lion was seen prowling the area near a school in Washington State. Wildlife officials in Anchorage, Alaska, have recommended closing a trail near a stream where salmon will begin running after a biker was mauled there last summer by a grizzly. You never know where a wildlife encounter may lead, as one woman who was pursued by a bear in Colorado found out - she ended up on the Today Show! A nuisance bear and her cubs were split up by Maine wildlife officials; and campers in Rocky Mountain National Park have been instructed to bear-proof their food caches, and reminded of an incident between a bear and campers in 2003 in which two men were mauled by a bear foraging for food in their camp. A Calgary, Canada, bus driver is a hero after saving a small dog from a pair of hungry coyotes; but authorities warned residents of Fort Richardson, Alaska, about a wolf attack on a dog this past weekend. Yesterday it was amorous skunks in Nebraska, today it's rabid skunks in that state; followed by an examination of the life of a tiny, but beneficial, form of wildlife. Concerns about Bovine Tuberculosis and ecosystem damage sparked debate about how best to control the possum population in New Zealand; while New Hampshire wildlife authorities comment on the possibility of predators in their state. Concerned about damage to the ecosystem, residents of Shawnee, Kansas, will be discussing the deer population in a local wildland park, currently at 200 deer per square mile. The Wildlife Center of Virginia had a tar-and-feathered bald eagle to rehabilitate, which will take to the skies again soon. And finally, we've all heard of flying squirrels, but flying Chihuahuas?
