Wildlife update

Thanks to two good friends for adding to the discussion about the red fox sighting on campus.

1. My old pal Bob, now living out in the Boulder area, sent this link from the Daily Camera newspaper about a mountain lion who was feeling quite comfortable on the Colorado campus. Could there be a new book coming out ... Running with the Mountain Lions?

2. My pal Krys, who works as a public sanitarian with the Department of Health, warns that our friendly red fox could carry rabies, since "any unusual behavior" could be an indication of a rabid animal. "Unusual behavior," in this case, is a friendly fox.

Who knew?
