In wildlife news today, nesting pairs of hawks and falcons are putting on an aerial show for Lansing, Michigan, office workers on a daily basis; but a reward is being offered by Indiana wildlife authorities for info on who shot and crippled a bald eagle in that state. A lioness who was born in captivity was considered dangerous and shot after escaping from her enclosure at an Australian zoo. A trio of stories about rabid wildlife follows: one from North Carolina, one from from Montana, and the third from Minnesota. Baby harp seal hunting has been outlawed in Russia (let's hope they police the Arctic areas for poachers). A treed cougar was successfully tranquilized and removed from a Central California backyard today; while a 17,000 square foot veterinary facility is underway at Oakland Zoo, something that will benefit wildlife medical students at organizations like UC Davis. Maryland wildlife officers gave one of their hibernating ursine subjects (and her cubs) a checkup; and Sam the Koala, who was rescued from the Victoria bushfires, is gaining in star power, with an agent and possible book and movie deals, prompting one to ask what's next - groupies? The government of British Columbia, Canada, is in the crosshairs as an animal protection group tries to shut down bear hunting there. Another chapter in the ongoing saga of coyotes in Pinellas County, Florida; followed by a story about a scary encounter for a Maine snowmobiler who nearly fell prey to a pack of coyotes. An advice column exchange about a coyote attack on a family's pet chicken in Walnut Creek, California is offered next. And finally, an Ohio residence suffered a home invasion by a masked bandit!
