A Wisconsin zoo finally received their long-awaited cougar cub, an orphan from Oregon who would have been euthanized if a zoo hadn't taken it within 48 hours. Scottish donors are providing golden eagle chicks to Irish naturalists trying to reestablish the birds in Ireland. Red-tailed hawks and a New Jersey organization called The Raptor Trust are profiled in the next article; but protective Swainson's hawks are making life miserable for residents of one Boise, Idaho, neighborhood. A doctor from New Zealand discusses the use of possum blood to culture flu viruses. The true identity of a canine in a case from Gloucester, Massachusetts, still haunts an animal control officer; and a columnist discusses wolves in the Seattle area. One of the major topics on the agenda at the Ninth Annual Quality Deer Management Association Convention and Whitetail Expo, taking place on July 23-26 at the Kentucky International Convention Center in Louisville, Kentucky, will be the coyote impact on deer herds across the US. Two stories from Iowa about motorcyclists who ended up in the hospital after encounters with deer in that state. With hundreds of black bears killed on a busy Florida highway, volunteers are hoping a "scenic byway" project will help protect bears in the area. A black bear snoozing in a tree in Billings, Montana, was safely relocated to the wilderness; but a semi apparently struck and killed a small black bear in North Carolina; while a pair of bears feeding off of human handouts and trash are becoming a problem elsewhere in that state. An Idaho hunter was attacked by a grizzly sow protecting a pair of cubs over the weekend; while a bear with a sweet tooth raided a San Bernardino, California, family's house to get at some chocolates (fortunately, it didn't manage to open the bottle of champagne). Our next item from Kansas City, Missouri, sounds like the title of a horror flick rather than a wildlife story! A columnist from California comments on orphaned wildlife as pets, particularly raccoons; while a Canadian raccoon provided quite a spectacle in Toronto, Ontario, over the weekend. And finally, a story about a baby raccoon who got into a real pickle of a situation in Michigan!
