First up in wildlife news today, Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains National Park is showcased in a Washington Post article; followed by some suggestions for getting along with your furry neighbors in the urban jungle of San Francisco. Maria Mercurio of the Australian RSPCA announced a remembrance service for animals lost in the Black Saturday bushfires for later this month; and in an environmental success story, the iconic blue crabs in Chesapeake Bay seem to be recovering. A wildlife refuge in Arkansas that cares for dozens of animals will be releasing a female puma back into the wild; followed by two stories about rabies: one from Poughkeepsie, New York; and another from Texas. A suburb of Seattle, Washington, is having a visitation from a furry family; and if you think losing weight is a bear, imagine trying to get a bear to lose weight! An Op-Ed from South Dakota revisits the issue of reflector effectiveness in reducing deer-car collisions; but a Michigan deer-hunting plan has been unveiled by wildlife officials. Inbreeding problems among India's brow-antlered deer are the focus of the next article; while some supportive talk for Wisconsin's DNR in the midst of angry recriminations is offered in the next piece. A mangy-looking coyote has been seen frequenting a New Jersey community, prompting cautions from authorities; an article from New York State demonstrates increasing boldness by urban coyotes in that area; and it's not exactly your standard morning talk show - this one had a pair of live wolves on it! Office workers in downtown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, welcomed a couple of baby raptors into the world; but an unknown shooter (or shooters) in South Dakota risk a $100,000 fine for shooting eagles in that state. A deer carcass laced with pesticides most likely killed an eagle in Michigan, according to wildlife authorities. And finally, a foursome of baby pythons got loose during a Qantas flight across Australia and have yet to be retrieved, prompting one to wonder if the in-flight movie was 'Snakes On A Plane'?
