In wildlife news today, a researcher from Cornell University in New York provides insight into wildlife in that state; followed by wildlife and pet columnist Gary Bogue, who provides some advice to a homeowner about a tail-less squirrel in California. A Washington couple and their dog had a vicious battle with an aggressive raccoon; but a dog's encounter with a rabid skunk in Ohio had a better outcome for the dog. A skunk crossing an Oklahoma Highway caused a head-on collision between two motorists; and a Missouri motorist missed a deer in the road, but hit the embankment. A US Geological Survey researcher fears that Wisconsin's deer herd, afflicted with Chronic Wasting Disease, could be going the way of deer herds in Colorado and Wyoming; but a letter to the editor of a Central Virginia paper argues for the elimination of a local golf course rather than culling of the deer population that damage the vegetation there. Wisconsin wildlife officials are on the lookout for a cougar spotted in a community last week; and a cougar was seen in a northern Michigan neighborhood as well. The emotional issue of hunting cougars in Arizona is debated in the next article; but there appears to be no debate on the topic in Colorado; while hunters in the borderlands of Minnesota and North Dakota are concerned about fallow fields disappearing. A coyote pup was seen in a Chicago suburb; but problems with coyotes in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, were once again in the news. A professor from the University of Wisconsin discloses why coyotes and bears are invading suburban areas: it was their home first! A former Fish and Game biologist has joined the chorus of critics chastising Alaska's government for their state-sanctioned wolf and bear hunts. An Op-Ed piece from Utah's Salt Lake Tribune blasts the federal decision to reinstate wolf hunting in neighboring states; but a letter to the editor of a Montana paper from a rancher argues quite the opposite. A bear was spotted by residents of a New Jersey community over the weekend; while wildlife officials in Florida are becoming victims of their own success, as an exploding population of black bears is making human-bear interactions more frequent. Wisconsin officials are pursuing a plan to have residents plant trees on their property in order to offset global warming, and thereby help preserve the polar bear population; followed by an article from ABC news that provides tips on how to enjoy bears without bears enjoying you! And finally, for those of you who have always wondered how a grizzly bear learns to swim, our last article answers the question!
