We start out with news about aquatic wildlife today: an extremely rare yellow lobster that was caught off Prince Edward Island is on display at a seafood restaurant in Massachusetts; while endangered Hawaiian Monk seals have expanded their digs. Sounding like something from a B-grade science fiction movie, workers involved in cleanup of radioactive waste in Hanford, Washington, had to deal with radioactive wasps and their nests; and visitors at a zoo in South Carolina got more than they bargained for when a gorilla got loose! New Zealand officials are discussing how best to handle the overabundance of destructive possums; but the Humane Society is urging a cutback in bobcat trapping in the US as buyers in Russia and China are paying upwards of $500 a pelt. A Jack Russell terrier is lucky to be alive after being mauled by a cougar in British Columbia, Canada. A Wisconsin writer exults over the increasing numbers of bald eagles in parts of that state; even as Vermont state biologists are waiting expectantly for some bald eagle hatchlings to appear. New York City is preparing to drastically reduce the Canadian geese population around the city to prevent more bird strikes on airliners entering and leaving the city's airports; but a professional golfer at a tournament in Maryland teed off right into an unfortunate robin that was flying by at just the wrong instant. A young bear was seen near a Virginia grade school yesterday; and officials in several Ohio counties are debating how to react to repeated black bear sightings. A Florida man who shot a black bear, ostensibly in self-defense, has been charged with a felony and released on bail; and elsewhere in that state, a black bear was seen prowling around a gated community. A bumper crop of cubs in Great Smokies National Park has led to an abundance of nuisance bears in that part of Tennessee. Residents of New Hampshire are given the lowdown on skunks on the move in their area. A Tennessee county is reconsidering a bounty offered for coyotes. A look at Illinois deer herds in light of hunting regulations is up next; but a motorcyclist who struck a deer in Minnesota has died. A journalist from Kansas City laments the impending doom of deer in a nearby park; while, with 191 commercial deer herds in Oklahoma, breeders are going high-tech to keep tabs on the health of their herds. And finally, actress Anne Hathaway had an unexpected cameo guest during a Shakespeare play in New York's Central Park!
