Let's hope McCain is just crazy.and not crazy like a fox. The following is not necessarily representative of ALL of Critter News. Just me. Why has John McCain chosen Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska, as a running mate? This may not seem like an animal issue, but it is.

Now, she's a Vice-Presidential candidate. Yikes!

We all know that mosquitoes are annoying pests that buzz around and then bite, leaving a welt that itches terribly.

And so, the foxes and shrikes endemic to the island began to suffer as the greenery went. And so, back on the island, the foxes recovered so much faster than the shrikes that they themselves had to be controlled, at least until golden eagles showed up and took over the island (they’d previously been driven off by bald eagles until the bald eagle population crashed in the wake of DDT) and started picking off the foxes.

Grief in magpies and red foxes: Saying goodbye to a friend. I also watched a red fox bury her mate after a cougar had killed him.
