In wildlife news today, all the years of tracking cougars is finally paying off for wildlife biologists in the Greater Los Angeles area; and bright lights, big city - a cougar decided to pay a visit to the Skirball Museum in Los Angeles, California. A Northern California resident's pet had a fatal encounter with a cougar while they were out for a walk. A groundbreaking study titled "The State of the Birds" was released by the Interior department, chronicling the status of bird species in the US over the past 40 years. An eagle's nest in a commercial district is getting a lot of scrutiny from enthusiastic bird watchers in Florida. The California Animal Living Museum's new mountain lion bobcat exhibit was a big hit, with donations to expand their grounds helping to increase the size and scope of the museum. New Rochelle, NY, police overdosed a coyote with tranquilizer as they were trying to catch it at a school; while residents of a Nova Scotia community are being advised about coyotes in their neck of the woods. The Northern Indiana Public Service Company saved a raccoon whose high-wire act needs some work; but a reader responds to articles about wildlife being shot or left to drown in Illinois. A Michigan resident was fined for spearing a bear in 2007; and a report from New York state details the numbers of wildlife hunted in that region over the past season. Trappers in New Zealand saw the market for their wares renew in China after months without orders there; while at the same time, conservationists in New Zealand are rejoicing over discovery of a baby tuatara lizard, a species thought extinct for 200 years. And finally, a small bat that hitched a ride on the space shuttle at liftoff is probably now a record-holder for the fastest bat in the world!
