WILDLIFE NEWS OF THE DAY - 021709

Leading off wildlife news today, a new rabies test provides a result in 30 minutes instead of waiting about two weeks, as is the case with previous tests. A coyote problem is being highlighted by a business committee in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and a greyhound is lucky to be alive after a near-fatal encounter with coyotes in Massachusetts. Oklahoma has approved a bill that would allow hunters to pursue black bears after a population explosion there, while an errant raccoon proved to be a traffic hazard in Indiana. In California, a number of mountain lions have been spotted near Santa Paula, and a pair of juvenile cougars raced through back yards in Santa Rosa, California, alarming residents. The next article provides some details on the eagle population around Powder River Basin in Wyoming, while people at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens in Virginia are waiting expectantly for some new additions to their eagle population. A woman's dog saved her from a fire at home, but when she feared he had died in the fire, firefighters pulled off a rescue of the rescuer. And finally, don't mess with this lamb, it packs a punch!
