In wildlife news today, we start out with a mystery that has federal and state fisheries biologists perplexed: what's happened to Alaska's king salmon? A possum in a Chicago neighborhood was shot with an arrow while passing through back yards; followed by a story that takes a look at ticks, large and small. As award-winning documentarian Ken Burns prepares to unveil his latest epic about the National Parks, one commentator discusses the wolves of Yellowstone National Park; even as the US Fish & Wildlife Service puts gray wolves back on the Endangered Species list in the Great Lakes region, acknowledging that it should have held legally-required public comment sessions before delisting them. Hunters in the southern US may find fewer deer to hunt due to the impact of coyotes on fawns; but an article from Duluth, Minnesota, chronicles the battle between homeowners and ravenous deer; and a Kansas City animal activist reflects on that city's current deer culling dilemma. A couple of stories of cougars in Washington state are up next; followed by one about how Arizona wildlife authorities, fearing the extermination of the Kofa desert bighorn sheep population, have agreed to let cougar hunting recommence after the recent moratorium. Monrovia, California, after a number of visitations by black bears, has expanded its bear-proof trash bin program; while wildlife officials in Ohio shot a black bear when it entered a community there, but only with rubber projectiles. A Yakima, Washington, motorcyclist took a spill following a collision with a bear who, unlike most deer struck in such collisions, simply shrugged off the impact and continued crossing the street. A Colorado man is trying to explain that he didn't mean to kill a bear, for which he may face charges; while a bear that was spotted in Florida a week or two ago may have finally been captured in Georgia. Three northern US states are discussing a grizzly bear hunting proposal; but a resident of Kashmir, India, was attacked by a black bear while working in an orchard. A black bear rambled into Albuquerque, New Mexico, giving residents a fright. A 20-year-old raccoon has staged a getaway from a Scottish animal shelter; but a New Jersey pest control company has been fined for leaving a raccoon in a trap until it expired. And finally, the hilarious misadventures of a Lawrence, Kansas, couple in their battle of wits with hungry raccoons is revealed in our last wildlife article today.
