An apartment-dweller from Seattle, Washington, reflects on wildlife interactions with humans and their pets in our first wildlife story today; followed by the story of a wildlife rehabilitator from northern Alabama, who is currently caring for a quartet of orphaned raccoons. Vermont has joined the list of states deploying fish-baited rabies vaccine cubes for raccoons; but a daycare operator in Mississippi has had to keep the children inside due to half a dozen unruly raccoons outside. A closer look at the habits of black bears in West Virginia is provided by the next article; and a trio of bear cubs in an Idaho wildlife park are putting on weight rapidly. A popular hiking trail in Montana's Bitterroot Mountains has been reopened after it was determined that the bear that was causing trouble there earlier this year had left the area. Bears in Aspen, Colorado, are proving to be a tourist tonic, but a law-enforcement headache; and an elderly man from Utah was mauled by a bear after returning from a river trip. There's a tussle over grizzly bear hunting in Alberta, Canada, between hunting advocates and environmentalists. A writer from Colorado describes the experience of being very, very close to a cougar in the road; and after sightings of a cougar in Utah, residents were given some tips on how to avoid a deadly encounter. Police in Rapid City, South Dakota, felt that a cougar in a tree was a threat to residents and shot it. An Arizona man was given a reduced sentence for unlawfully selling eagle feathers after intervention by the Navajo nation. Pet owners and parents are concerned about multiple coyote sightings in Central Virginia; but actress Katherine Heigl swung into action when a coyote attempted to make off with her pet, right from her own backyard! Possums in Texas are the topic of the next article; followed by one about someone's pet alligator that made it into a creek in West Virginia, causing quite a stir. Texas landowners, concerned for their crops, will now be able to purchase a year-long deer hunting license to protect their fields from browsing deer; while a New Mexico community, overrun by deer, is concerned because where the deer go, the predators follow. Even the nation's capital is complaining about too many deer, in this case at Rock Creek Park. And finally, a clever deer exploited the rivalry between a cheetah and a hyena in Africa to make a quick getaway after playing dead!
