WILDLIFE NEWS OF THE DAY - 031009

A Shar-Pei's breeding may have saved its life when a cougar decided to make a meal of it in California; and continued sightings of cougar tracks are coming out of Wisconsin. Police in an Oregon community are warning residents to stay away from a pair of bear cubs due to danger from their unseen mother. Concern over the safety of sea eagles in Scotland's northern reaches has prompted the government to provide compensation to crofters who report upwards of half their flocks being killed by the raptors; and an endangered Iberian Imperial Eagle was shot by poachers, causing outrage in Portugal. A clever coyote continues to elude traps in a Kansas neighborhood; while residents of York, Maine, are concerned for their pets as there are more coyote sightings in their area. A family in Minnesota was relieved that their dog escaped an encounter with a coyote alive; but an editorial from Pennsylvania laments 'open season' on the Eastern Coyote in that state. And finally, an albino raccoon is ready for her close-up!
