The secret behind how snakes can propel themselves is revealed in a new paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, as we kick off our wildlife news today; followed by a story about another cougar sighting in Santa Paula, California (let's hope this one ends without police shooting a cub again). A bear in a Massachusetts community has residents and officials on edge after several sightings over the past few days; and a bear was tranquilized and removed from a New Mexico neighborhood today. A jogger was bitten by a grizzly bear in Montana; and there have been a spate of black bear shootings in that state as well. Almost as shocking as 'man bites dog', the headline for the next story from Connecticut could be 'deer bites dog'! Another fatal deer collision, this time in an Ontario, Canada, community occurred overnight. A gray wolf pack in Twisp, Washington, is getting some new neighbors - let's hope they can all get along. A group of Pennsylvania girl scouts got an important lesson in rabid wildlife; a quick-thinking Georgian dispatched a rabid raccoon that had attacked his dog, then had the remains tested for rabies; while animal control officers in a South Carolina city had a flurry of rabid raccoon calls. Never underestimate a clever raccoon: 3,000 customers of an Indiana power provider lost power due to a raccoon slipping past electric fences and other defenses to get shorted across power lines; and 1,500 customers in Wausau, Wisconsin, suffered a similar outage. And finally, a teen is in trouble for placing a live skunk inside a man's car in Pennsylvania!
