In wildlife news today, the exploits of a joey rejected by his mom at a Louisiana wildlife preserve are chronicled; followed by a look at a New Jersey refuge that is currently caring for a pack of hungry bear cubs. Two bear stories from Virginia: motorists were backed up on the road that runs through Shenandoah National Park after a bear and her cub crossed the road; while a newspaper had a local story about the capture of a black bear to report - right behind their office! An injured black bear may have to be put down by authorities in Northern California; but a woman in New Haven, Connecticut, got quite a surprise when she spotted a black bear in her yard. Aspen, Colorado, police had a variety of calls about hungry bears this past weekend. Another peril of backyard feeding of deer is underscored in a tale from Oregon; while authorities in that state are looking for a poacher who dumped a butchered buck deer on a street. A trio of deer-vehicle collision stories today: a South Carolina couple whose motorcycle collided with a deer were both hospitalized; an Indiana motorcyclist broke her collarbone in a collision with a deer; and four people died when their vehicle collided with a deer in Wyoming. A controversial deer hunt in Placer County, California, is generating a heated response from animal rights activists; but faced with an overpopulation of red deer, authorities are considering reintroducing wolves to the Scottish Highlands. And finally, size matters, as was demonstrated by a hawk from North Carolina whose wide wingspan evidently started a wildfire.
