This is good news

The red wolf is one of the most endangered animals on the planet. That's why environmentalists were ecstatic to find the first litter born in the wild in four years — six pups.

For those who like to feed Racoons. This is a good visual and a warning. Just how fast and aggressive these critters can be. Stay safe out there.

Be care full when you come into contact with wildlife. It could cost you some serious out of pocket cost $$ or even your life.

Rabies deaths are extremely rare in the U.S., thanks to the effectiveness of the post-exposure prophylaxis treatment that exists. But the cost of those lifesaving shots can be extremely high.

Biologists at the NC Wildlife Resources Commission say if you find a bear den, leave it alone. Black bears are very resourceful in finding places to shelter late December through April as cold weather lingers and cubs are born. Dens may be found in rock cavities, brush piles, tree cavities, excavations under fallen trees, ground nests, under decks and in crawlspaces. As a result, you may stumble upon a bear den anytime you are outdoors, whether hiking, working in your yard, cutting firewood or enjoying outdoor activities.

If you find a den, either on your property or on public property, do not panic. Leave the area quickly and quietly, and do not disturb the den for the rest of the winter season. If the den is under your deck, shed, or crawlspace, leave the area and call the NC Wildlife Helpline at 866-318-2401, or contact your local district wildlife biologist for further guidance. In almost all cases, homeowners can safely co-exist with the bear until it leaves the den in the spring.

This trail cam photo beautifully demonstrates a symbiotic relationship -- a special interaction between species that provides a balance that can only be achieved by working together.

Some good info in the article please read if you feed hummingbirds. As a ADC Agent I get lots of calls about nuisance raccoons and bears attacking bird feeders of all types with seed's and sugar water hummingbird feeders. So I have seen lots of different types of feeder over the last 20 years. I have seen people use RED food coloring in the sugar water as well and some VERY moldy feeders. Commercial made hummingbird feeders are all ready made RED to help attract the birds NO NEED TO ADD RED FOOD COLORING in the water it is bad for them and all ways remember " Cleanliness is next to Godliness" if you care for these amazing tiny birds. Change your water every couple of days.

It's important to get the recipe just right to match the natural diet of hummingbirds. This is the standard sugar water recipe for home hummingbird feeders.
