WILDLIFE NEWS OF THE DAY - 031309

In wildlife news today, a New Zealand company is donating thousands of dollars of skin cream to treat animals burned in the Australian bushfires; but it won't do much good for wildlife impacted by an oil spill off of Queensland's coast. The 'Wild Brother Animal Behavior Study' is profiled in the next article from Ohio - skunks anyone? A compendium of pictures of wildlife in the city comes to us from Idaho; followed by an interesting Q&A with a veteran wildlife officer from Massachusetts. Wildlife authorities provide pointers to residents of an Ontario, Canada, town about coyotes in the neighborhood; and residents of a Portland, Oregon, neighborhood are puzzled by a coyote warning that was apparently not posted by authorities. More info is provided from a Colorado source on getting along with coyotes; followed by one about four men who were arrested in Oregon for selling parts of endangered birds. A Nevada resident out walking her dog had a deadly encounter with a cougar; while veterinarians at Portland's zoo are trying to help a cougar fight off an potentially-deadly intestinal problem. Two warnings about rabid animals follows: one from Georgia, the other from Texas. A fight between a small dog and a raccoon is reported in the next article from Gilroy, California. And finally, in a case of mistaken identity, a Washington couple claimed to be mauled by a cougar, when in reality it was their own pit bull!
