The Department of Natural Resources has issued a public advisory after several reports of coyote sightings on the Powers Pond walking trail in Mount Pearl yesterday.

Conservation officers are monitoring the situation. They say anyone encountering a coyote should never approach or crowd the animal, instead be aggressive, make noise and wave your arms while giving it an escape route. Maintain eye contact and do not run away.

Residents of the area are reminded to…

I was talking to a good friend of mine the other day. He was telling me, appearently moose are being killed and left to rotten in around the Goulds. I don't know for sure if this is happening, as of now it is hear say. Has anyone else heard anything of this nature, from anywhere else on the island? If this is true, it is very very sad and needs to be stopped and reported immediately.

Please read your contract before you commit anything to this....my family did a reality show for Animal Planet under Darlow Smithson and they made a mockery out of what we went through. The contract reads and I still have mine you can read!!!! they can imbelish as they see fit!!!!! and they do....ask them how much they will make and ask for proof through documentation...then ask what you will be paid....see how much they reap from your misery!!!!!

A group of anglers and hunters has launched a petition calling on the provincial government to take a responsible approach to moose management.  The group, which is concerned about the emotional response to moose-vehicle collisions in the province, argues that the provincial government has to take serious measures to ensure the moose population doesn't continue to decline.  On VOCM Backtalk with Paddy Daly, Edward Smith said people have to take a greater responsibility and accept that we…

Middle Cove Beach is abuzz today, now that the capelin are rolling. Children and parents, fishermen and tourists have all come down to Middle Cove -- some for sport, others just for fun.  The capelin aren't just attracting people; flocks of gulls have been drawn to the area, and whales are also getting in on the bounty, all of which iis adding to the spectacle for residents and tourists alike.  

All that activity is causing a few problems for traffic in the area.  Mayor of Logy Bay,…

People throughout areas on the Northern Peninsula have been reporting cases of sick and dying moose for about a decade now.

Despite an ongoing project partnered by the provincial Departments of Natural Resources, Animal Health and the Department of Environment and Conservation to examine the issue, government has no definitive answers as to a cause, a spokesperson said Friday.

In 2008, the Department of Environment and Conservation released a statement saying people…

It seems hunters are saying the numbers of ducks are down this year from other years. Hunters from all areas of the island portion of the province are having the same experience. " Numbers are down". Down from where you ask? Down from the wild, not the heavy populated metro areas. St. John's, Mount Pearl, Paradice and CBS are full of waterfowl. Almost every pothole that has water in it, has ducks. Not 2 or 3 but by the hundreds. Bowring Park, Quida Vida Lake, Waterford River and the list…
