First up in wildlife news today, the US Senate managed to reverse a Bush administration ruling that affected polar bears; and while many cities have problems with coyotes or skunks or even cougars, Anchorage, Alaska, is dealing with an upswing in grizzly bear maulings. Arkansas wildlife officers are helping reintroduce black bears into that state; but wildlife organizations in Australia are lamenting the loss of so many animals in the Victoria bushfires, some of them endangered species. An article discusses the history and status of lynx and their feline cousins in Montana; while a 130-lb mountain lion was being pursued by wildlife officers in Wisconsin with the intention of attaching a GPS collar. A growing coyote population is making the news in a West Virginia suburb. Two raptor collision stories today: the Northeastern Nevada Wildlife Rehabilitation Center had to deal with a golden eagle who had a crash landing with a semi; and an Audubon veterinarian examined a red-tail hawk after it crashed through the grillwork of a car south of Portland, Oregon. A couple of rabies stories follow: after finding a second rabid skunk, authorities in a Montana county have extended quarantines for another 60 days; and residents of Jackson County, Florida, were alerted about a rabid skunk destroyed by authorities. And finally, for dog owners who may complain about how fat their dog has gotten, you might want to rethink a diet plan in light of this last story!
