A Vermont man who protected a moose from attacking dogs when it was young can't protect it from wildlife officers now that it's grown; while a deer that had apparently been hit by a car died in front of a Michigan store. A wildlife biologist discusses coyotes in Georgia; followed by a fascinating article about the secret life of roadrunners that comes to us from Texas (no sign of Wile E. Coyote, however!) An odd-looking beast in the vicinity of Toronto, Canada, has been tentatively identified as a hairless raccoon; but a raccoon upstaged actors in a production of Camelot at an outdoors theater in St. Louis, Missouri. The next article tells readers what to do if they see injured wildlife (particularly raccoons) in Massachusetts. A San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputy killed a bear while it was trying to get into a yard in Southern California; beekeepers are learning that the rumors of the black bear's demise in Missouri are greatly exaggerated; and an Ohio community is being warned about an ursine visitor. A homeowner in Valencia, California, found out the hard way that Animal Control doesn't pick up trapped skunks anymore; but a couple of days after a Massachusetts man was bitten by a rabid skunk, a second one has been spotted in the same community. A tiger who was part of a magic act in Nevada teleported itself from its cage into a neighborhood. Cougar saunters through Utah neighborhood: residents yawn. Some background material on the impact of Proposition 117 (which protects cougars in California) and the impact on a family after a cougar attack earlier this month is summed up in the next article. California Fish and Game officials eased people's fears in Hayward, California, by identifying a supposed 'cougar' as just a very large feral kitty; but a kitten found along a road in Pennsylvania turned out to be rabid. Victoria, Australia, has earned the dubious honor of being the state with the highest rat/mice/possum population per house; while a writer from Ohio discusses his battle of wits with a possum determined to room with him. A rancher in New Zealand recalls the battle to eradicate wildlife that was infecting his cattle with Bovine Tuberculosis; but an Illinois family will be forced to give up their pet lemur due to strict laws on owning exotic pets in that state. And finally, a huge python was killed near a veterinary hospital in Florida as the python roundup there continues!
