First up in wildlife news today, residents of Santa Paula, California, are once again on edge as one and possibly two cougars were spotted in the area; followed by another cat story from California about sightings of a rare black panther. A story that sounds like the beginning of a bad joke tells of an aggressive bobcat that caused patrons of an Arizona bar some grief; while an Oregon hunter weighs in with a surprising perspective on the controversy surrounding Oregon's cougar population management plans. Concerned residents of a Missouri town believe dogs in their area have been attacked by cougars; but a public seminar on cougars this coming Saturday will probably be popular with residents of several Montana communities. A story out of Connecticut discusses the different tracks left behind by wildlife; followed by a cautionary tale from Texas about getting rabies shots for your dogs. Some advice from Massachusetts about dealing with latent skunk aroma; and a nesting pair of falcons in Warsaw, Poland, is developing a worldwide following via the web. A trio of stories about coyotes appeared today, leading off with one about the legality of hunting them in a Colorado city; the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission providing tips to homeowners with coyotes in their region; topped off with a new book on the adventures of a Colorado resident and her furry friends. Purdue University researchers have been exploring how glacier activity thousands of years ago may have altered deer populations; and a Minnesota man has been taking his deer on the road to schools and other events to help educate people on wildlife. You never know where a poaching case is going to lead, as investigators in Florida discovered. Two stories out of Australia: a comprehensive plan for future bushfire mitigation and protection of wildlands in Australia is provided for debate by The Wilderness Society; while a possum had an unexpected journey after accidentally getting shipped from Brisbane to Cairns. And finally, the UK honored a bear who aided Polish troops in Italy during World War II.
