We begin wildlife news today with a success story: Sea Eagles, hunted to extinction in western Scotland many years ago, have made a stunning comeback. Three environmental groups filed petitions with wildlife officials in New Mexico to bolster protections for the Mexican Gray Wolf; but in Idaho, wolves have apparently killed a dozen sheep. A New Jersey county near New York City has sounded an alert about coyotes in the area that have killed several sheep. With increased black bear sightings in New York State, some tips for bear encounter survival are offered in the next article; but a black bear that had frequented parts of Florida and Georgia, was shot by a Georgia homeowner after doing damage to his house. More details and some background material on the story of a Colorado woman who was killed by a bear she was feeding; followed by an article from California that underscores the danger feeding wildlife poses not only to humans but to the animals as well. Iron workers in Chicago got a surprise visitor when a load of metal from Detroit arrived with a stowaway. And finally, a New South Wales, Australia, home had some electrical problems when a possum got entangled in their power lines, so who do they call: the fire brigade, of course!
