Mysterious cattle mutilations haunt Kansas pastures
In McPherson and Harvey counties two cattle mutilations stump investigators with no leads. A Harvey County bull found Dec 18 lacked genitalia, a Canton area cow fetus was mutilated Jan 1. Officials cite toxicology tests in vain and old cases, with rewards totaling up to 8,000 dollars. Authorities weigh predator versus human actions while ranchers seek resolution.

Review under way for rare Scott Lake riffle beetle status
The U S Fish and Wildlife Service will decide whether to list the Scott riffle beetle, found only in a small Scott State Park spring area, as endangered. The finding ties to habitat loss from Ogallala water declines and could affect local irrigation. Researchers note the beetle is isolated to a single spring fed by the aquifer, with surveys not locating other populations.
