As the wildfires in Southern California subside, wildlife who used to live in the hills are emerging tired, hungry, and homeless into the residential areas surrounding their former habitat (and with over 150,000 acres burned in the Angeles National Forest, there's going to be a lot of hungry, thirsty critters looking for succor in someone's back yard!) Residents in Palo Alto, California, probably wondered what the fuss was about a cat on the roof of a neighbor's house, however this kitty was a little larger than most! The father of a Canadian boy who was attacked by a cougar in Washington state comments on the attack and its aftermath. A Colorado family is mourning the loss of their dog, fatally injured by a coyote who jumped the fence into their yard; while the Christian Science Monitor jumps into the dogfight surrounding wolf hunting in the US. A man from Pawling, New York, died after a motorcycle collision with a deer; while an Indian man has been apprehended by authorities trying to sell the hides of protected deer. An orphaned bear cub that had wandered into the wild after its mother was killed needed some treatment and food, which was provided by a California Fish and Game facility; but law enforcement officials in Florida are investigating the shooting of a protected black bear. A Massachusetts community is bracing for the annual influx of hungry bears raiding bird feeders and trash in anticipation of a long winter's nap; however, doctors and nurses at a Tennessee medical center nearly had an emergency of their own when a black bear showed up outside their facility! An elderly woman in a North Carolina park had a bit of a disagreement with a black bear over a can of soft drink. An eagle will be released in a Michigan county later today after having been rehabilitated; but an injured hawk that had been taken to a New Jersey wildlife rehabilitator with a broken wing has died. A report titled "Australia's Hidden Treasures" lives up to its name with hundreds of new species of flora and fauna revealed. And finally, despite a traumatic experience escaping the Black Saturday bushfires, Tasmanian devils evacuated to Healesville Wildlife Sanctuary have proved remarkably resilient (not to mention prolific!)
