In our first wildlife story today, quick action and generous donations helped a coalition of organizations save elephants who were dying of thirst in the African nation of Mali. Faced with strict Illinois animal control laws, one town has decided to appeal to professional trappers for help; and the Executive Director of Carolina Wildlife Care spoke with a South Carolina TV reporter about critters. A Canadian town in Ontario province is hoping their new plastic coyote and some reflective streamers will keep Canadian geese away from a popular shoreline. A hawk was apparently sucked into a jet engine, forcing the plane to land in St. Louis; and a new species of songbird has been discovered in the Asian nation of Laos. The Scottish Government was up in arms over the poisoning of another golden eagle; while a pair of bald eagle nesting sites have been identified in Vermont. The Colorado Division of Wildlife provides some tips to backpackers trekking through bear country; but Carson City, Nevada, will begin issuing warnings to residents (and fines to the most unresponsive citizens) if bears get into their trash. A New York resident faced a misdemeanor charge after shooting a black bear that entered his campsite; while a Connecticut man was startled to find a bear staring at him in his front yard. The further escapades of a black bear in Florida that made the news yesterday follows. A Sioux Falls, South Dakota, apartment house played host (inadvertently) to a raccoon convention; but even though there have been a number of articles written about how to deal with raccoons infesting a home, what do you do when it's a Chicago storage unit? Ocean County, New Jersey, health authorities warned residents about the dangers of rabid wildlife in the area; and another day, another rabid skunk, the sixth reported in a New Jersey county. A quick-thinking Texas woman grabbed a raccoon assailant who turned out to be rabid. In a follow-up to a New York Times article about deer ticks, some readers share their thoughts. A deer was killed and two residents of Florida injured when a car hit the deer; and three people were injured when their vehicle struck a deer on a Missouri highway. An animal rights group is vowing to stop the culling of a deer herd in a Kansas park. Next, we take an excursion through deepest, darkest Chicago in search of elusive urban coyotes. Residents of Glendale, California, were warned that a cougar had been seen in the area earlier this week; while there appears to be a cougar prowling around McMinnville, Oregon, as well. Georgian wildlife officials have a mystery on their hands: is the cat they're tracking a mountain lion or an escaped African lion? A New York man is facing criminal charges after passing off an old video as a recent cougar sighting in a state that reportedly doesn't have any cougars. And finally, Academy-Award-winning actor Kevin Costner had a close encounter with a cougar on a British Columbia golf course!
