Wildlife

If you're planning a weekend getaway to a lake in Illinois that's not far from St. Louis, you might want to know that there have been mountain lion sightings in the area.

When spending time in one of Illinois' 5 national parks, you'd think comment sense would always be used. Nope. That's why we got this funny reminder.

You won't see this very often. A trail camera in the Midwest has captured video footage of very young wolf pups playing in the woods.

Have you ever tried to save something that really doesn't want to be saved? That seems to be what happened when an Illinois woman made a brave attempt to save some dumpster-diving raccoons. It did not seem to me that they really wanted "saving".

Seeing a squirrel is no big deal. It's actually rare when you don't see a squirrel in Illinois or Missouri for that matter. One Illinois homeowner did have a rare encounter with one of these creatures you don't often see - an all-white Albino squirrel.

When you're a tiger, you do things different. A tiger in an Illinois zoo this week gave a clinic on how you clean cameras in the most tiger way possible.

Depending on who you talk to, coyotes are either a tremendous nuisance or a necessary part of nature. Which is it? Let's do some research into the pros and cons of these animals who's numbers seem to be growing.

When you spend most of your life in the inner city of Chicago, it's quite jarring when suddenly you go on vacation to experience nature. That happened to a couple recently who went to Arizona to "get away from it all" and met a bear chilling in a tree.

If you wanna get away, but not too far away from animals, you need to see this tiny Illinois place that's located inside of a rescue ranch. Animals of just about every variety are everywhere.

Because of this, I've decided to not peek inside of trees anymore. A Midwest guy was more than a little shocked to find a frightened bear who had decided to make his home inside of one recently.
