The bizarre sex life of a California fish is explored in our first wildlife article today (parental discretion advised); followed by a story about an elephant fitted with a prosthesis in Thailand, mentioned last week, who has bent the artificial leg, forcing the manufacturers to rework it. A writer from Oklahoma takes a closer look at the life of possums; and an inadvertent Good Samaritan recounts the tale of a squirrel rescue in Los Angeles. Florida authorities have confirmed that a raccoon that bit a dog in Sarasota was indeed rabid. A wildlife rehabilitator from Massachusetts had two oil-soaked red-tailed hawks to attend to; but a fledgling eagle flew into power lines in New York State, and since she was wet from heavy fog, the results were fatal. A horticulturalist at the US National Arboretum provides some tips on deer-proofing your garden; followed by a rare look at the financial side of the deer industry in Texas. A woman in British Columbia, Canada, continues to fight authorities for the right to keep her five-year-old deer; but a proposal to unleash bowhunters on an overabundance of deer in one New York county has led to a heated debate between officials and environmentalists. An official from Norfolk, Virginia, responds to reports of coyote attacks in the area; even as Alabama continues to see an increase in coyote attacks on pets, especially in the central part of the state where over 21 coyotes have been trapped. Connecticut is seeing an upsurge in coyote attacks on pets; while residents of North Carolina are reporting coyote sightings and pet disappearances as well. An article from Malibu takes another look at the secret life of cougars in Southern California's Santa Monica Mountains; and wildlife authorities are keeping an eye on a cougar seen hunting deer in a forested part of Oregon. An Ohio motorist was unable to avoid hitting a black bear; but Aspen, Colorado's, home-invasion bear was at it again yesterday. And finally, veterinarians at Texas A&M University had a very large patient on whom to perform a root canal (and you can bet that they gave him plenty of painkiller!)
