An Australian scientist is pursuing a Jurassic Park dream of resurrecting Australia's Tasmanian Tiger, in our first wildlife article today. Black bears are causing problems for residents on the California side of Lake Tahoe; and a female black bear that wandered into Flagstaff, Arizona, was tranquilized and relocated. Russian hunting teams are on the prowl for a Kamchatka brown bear that killed a woman in a Siberian town; while an aggressive bear has forced authorities to close a trail in Montana's Bitterroots. Ohio wildlife officials believe they have a repeat offender bear, one that was seen a week ago rummaging through trash at Kent State University. The trials and tribulations of a Central California family faced with pesky raccoons is up next. In Virginia, a dog had to be put to sleep after mixing it up with what turned out to be a rabid raccoon; but with over three dozen rabid bats identified in their state, Illinois health officials are warning people about the threat; and a disoriented skunk that was killed in a Connecticut neighborhood last week has tested positive for rabies. Construction workers helped rescue a deer who had become trapped on a sandbag dam in Connecticut. A brief history of the Kashmir deer in India is provided by the next item. A Connecticut firefighter remains in critical condition after a deer leaped at his motor scooter; and even petting zoos aren't safe from wildlife attacks, as the next article from Massachusetts demonstrates! A trio of white-tailed deer habitats are being established in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. A coyote got more than it bargained for when it tried to tackle a pugnacious wire fox terrier in Southern California; while an Op-Ed piece from Southern California chides city-dwellers who move to rural areas, then complain about coyotes. Thirst is driving coyotes into residential areas in Southern Texas (sounds like they could use a Water Cache Project site nearby!) A Minnesota motorist came upon a crippled bald eagle, which he took home to nurse until a Raptor Center could treat it. A scientist at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History's Powdermill Nature Reserve in Pennsylvania will try to determine if a wind farm in Appalachia that sits astride the migratory path of golden eagles has any impact on them. A letter to the editor from a resident of Grass Valley, California, argues that a local cougar who has lost its fear of people should be euthanized. There's a housing shortage in New South Wales, Australia, for possums as well as people. And finally, a tragic story has a happy ending, as a gorilla in a German zoo who lost her baby last year now has a healthy, rambunctious youngster!
