South Carolina's Striped Hyena Cryptomundo

Loren Coleman examines the wisdom of private citizens owning a wild animal, such as the gentleman from Myrtle Beach, SC, who harbored a striped hyena in his backyard. But Coleman doesn't stop there, showing a wildlife camera video of what appears to be a hyena traversing an open area near Natchez, MS, in 2007. If the Mississippi footage is indeed a hyena, how did the wild and dangerous animal find its way into the southern forest? Where do personal rights and the public safety meet? With videos and image. Meanwhile, the return of a former native animal to the forests of a state where it was last seen in the early 1900s is detailed, with images, in Wisconsin Cougar Confirmed. Elsewhere, it's believed a recent bird discovery in the Solomon Islands lends credence to Darwin's Theory of Evolution, as reported in New White-Eye Discovered.
