First up in wildlife news today, a case of life imitating art, where rooks in England have confirmed the validity of one of Aesop's fables; but a tough Golden Eagle survived a head-on collision with a truck on Tuesday and is on the mend at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center at Ogden, Utah. A former strip club in Florida has found new life as a turtle rehabilitation center; while another article discusses the importance of preserving the Desert Bighorn Sheep in Arizona. A wildlife rehabilitator in Connecticut explains how she takes care of deer fawns. Wisconsin authorities are going to be discussing deer-related issues in meetings throughout the state. A report from two people in the UK claimed that they saw a mountain lion; cougar sightings in Oregon are the topic of the next article; and wildlife authorities in Georgia determined that a cougar had actually been a panther from Florida. An Ontario, Canada, community is saddened by the theft of their plastic coyote, which was being used to scare Canadian geese out of a waterfront park. Idaho is considering sanctioning wolf hunts as the predators increased numbers beyond 1,000. Wildlife authorities in one Texas County are warning residents about the danger of rabies from local wildlife; while a Colorado county has identified rabid skunks in the area and warned residents about the danger of rabies; and a Florida community was put on alert after a raccoon that attacked a dog turned out to have rabies. Whereas in some cultures raccoons are considered to be small bears, it turns out that bears sometimes use raccoons as scouts, as one writer from Colorado reveals. Tabloid polar bear Knut is teaming up with an Italian girlfriend in Berlin, Germany; and a chance encounter with a polar bear in Greenland was quite a thrill for passengers on a cruise ship. Sam the koala bear, a symbol of hope for bushfire survivors, has died during an operation to remove life-threatening tumors; and the Australian firefighter who rescued Sam from a fire-charred Victoria forest was devastated by her loss. The charges against a Colorado man for shooting a bear within the city limits are detailed in the next article; and even law enforcement officials in a New Jersey community are in trouble with residents over a couple of bear killings. Some dentists do make house calls, as demonstrated by our next article about a Malayan sun bear in a Seattle, Washington, zoo who is getting a root canal. And finally, a quad rider in California nearly ended up with an ursine passenger (perhaps he should sport a sign that reads 'no riders')!
