An article from Santa Rosa, California, underscores the importance of deer-repellant vegetation around homes and types of plants to use; but a maintenance man at a Colorado Springs motel has some extra work to do after a deer crashed into one of the rooms and trashed the bathroom. A nimble deer was caught on video leaping over the hood of an Indianola, Iowa, police car; while an outbreak of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in West Virginia is discussed in the next item. Although there are no documented cases of cougars in Kansas, evidence about hog killings points in that direction. A wolf who had become dependent on human handouts was euthanized in Yellowstone National Park; and a meeting to discuss Wyoming's take on wolves was convened in Casper today. Coyotes in Newfoundland, Canada, are being considered for sterilization as the caribou population drops; while the police in Salem, Massachusetts, have been besieged with calls about nuisance coyotes. The hazards of feeding wildlife, in this case bears, is highlighted by a trial going on in Oregon. Plans to eradicate the invasive possum population on New Zealand's Otago Peninsula are proceeding, according to the next article. The back-story on how rabies was reintroduced to the East Coast of the US after virtually being wiped out is revealed; and rabies cases cropped up in Maryland, North Carolina, and Florida, as the next three articles detail. A desert museum in Arizona has added a show featuring an orphaned skunk to their repertoire; and a South Carolina rehabilitation center is showcased in our last wildlife item today.
