Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law by Mary Roach

Text from the back cover:

What's to be done about a jaywalking moose?  A bear caught breaking and entering?  A murderous tree?  Three hundred years ago, animals that broke the law would be assigned legal representation and put on trial.  These days, the answers are best found not in jurisprudence but in science; the curious science of human-wildlife conflict.  Roach travels from leopard-terrorized hamlets in the Indian Himalayas to St. Peter's Square in the early hours before the pope arrives for Easter Mass when gulls swoop in to destroy the floral display.  When it comes to "problem" wildlife, she finds, humans are more often the problem - and the solution.
