We lead off with a wildlife story from the UK today, where worries about invasive species are being voiced. A big cat in a Southern California home's backyard was tranquilized and returned to Angeles National Forest. A community college in Troy, New York, received a visitation from a bear this week; but a grizzly sow who frequented an Idaho community's trash bins has been removed to the wild. A young bear appeared near a Colorado neighborhood's park; and bear sightings continue in Seattle, Washington, neighborhoods. A couple of contrasting possum stories from Down Under next: concern has been raised for Victoria's iconic Leadbeater possum, which may have been all but wiped out by the Black Saturday bushfires; but New Zealanders are being encouraged to exterminate overabundant possums in that country. One West Virginia county is reporting a rash of rabies cases; and a North Carolina region has tallied up 13 rabies cases so far this year. A West Virginia community is complaining to wildlife officers about deer destroying their ornamental foliage; while Minnesotans are being warned about the danger of Lyme-disease-laden deer ticks. Researchers in North Negros Natural Park in the Philippines have discovered that a breed of deer thought extinct still survives. A trio of hunting stories today: Arkansas deer hunters had a banner year; a look at Tennessee's hunting seasons is provided by the next article; and a pair of deer poachers were apprehended in Nevada after a tip by a witness. Greensboro, North Carolina, has been alerted to some new four-legged neighbors; while residents of an Ontario, Canada, community attended a meeting to discuss the increasing coyote problems in their neck of the woods. A four-wolf pack that had set up housekeeping in a human-populated portion of Yellowstone National Park has now departed; but a Washington state community is learning how to coexist with gray wolves. Several episodes of the BBC's 'The Life Of Birds' program will be airing on YouTube exclusively for US viewers. A brood of hawks was removed from a tree near student housing at Purdue University in Indiana after the parents dive-bombed students walking by the nest. Radio tagging of predators is fairly common, but Scottish researchers are now tagging prey as well. And finally, firefighters in San Ramon, California, rescued some fluffy youngsters who ended up in a storm drain.
