First up in wildlife news today, a couple of stories that are for the birds: a birdwatcher provides details on the 50-yard-dash champion of the bird world; and a commentator voices a supportive opinion of vultures in their removal of animal carcasses. Debate is ratcheting up in communities near Yellowstone National Park as wolves begin to broaden their territory; while a golf course in Idaho came up with an innovative way to keep Canadian geese away. Peace officers in Iowa have decided to take a wait-and-see attitude with a female coyote who seems more interested in love than war; but people in a Massachusetts neighborhood are counseling reexamination of current rules and regs regarding wildlife. Residents of a town near San Diego report increased numbers of coyote attacks on pets; while the next article provides more details on the Denver Parks and Recreation Department's plans to spook coyotes. A Georgia Wildlife Biologist shares his thoughts on skunks and raccoons in that region; but while many people have cats as pets, there aren't many who want the type this lady is interested in! And finally, curiosity nearly killed the Octopus, as one flexed its muscles with a result of Biblical proportions (think the Great Flood) at Santa Monica Pier Aquarium!
