Acme stock goes through the roof as Coyotes move to urban centers


First it was foxes, skunks and raccoons. Now coyotes are setting up shop in increasing numbers within urban settings in North America. Are larger carnivores next? 
A professor of wildlife ecology at Ohio State University says urban coyotes, the largest of the mid-size carnivores, may be setting the stage for their larger brethren to start migrating to cities.

I am a free animal, not a Whopper with cheese!

Runaway cow endured 9 months on the run in the wild before being taken to a refuge farm.

From the Vancouver Sun:

When it was first spotted, Langley and Surrey RCMP patrol cars tried to herd it down the highway, but the cow escaped and ended up taking refuge at Surrey Bend Regional Park.

It survived, living off the grass in the bog and the kindness of strangers who fed it hay when winter fell. On Dec. 11, when someone contacted Lifeforce and Hamilton learned of the cow's plight, he took action.

"This was a herd animal that had been living on its own with no experience at all," he said, "It was seen being chased into the Fraser River by vicious dogs; there are coyotes around, it was cold."
