U.s. Fish And Wildlife Service

A man tried to bring a python onto a plane in Miami by hiding it inside a hard drive, according to a news report. He and the snake did not make the flight that was headed to Barbados, authorities said.

It was her dream: She would be a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service seasonal field assistant working with the small but threatened grizzly bear population of Montana's Cabinet Mountains, a narrow stretch of snow-capped peaks that sprawl more 40 miles. Tucked within the range are glacial lakes, waterfalls and, on the southwest face, swamp creeks.

The killing of Cecil the lion by a US hunter in Zimbabwe has turned up the pressure on Washington to extend legal protection to the African lion by declaring it an endangered species, but some hunting advocates said that would lead to more regulations that could ultimately harm the big cats.
