Ohio is continuing to see deer test positive from a fatal neurological disease. It could have implications for the species’ population decades down the line.

Wild turkeys are plentiful in Ohio these days, roaming all 88 counties. But early settlers once pushed the species out of the state entirely.

Last year, Ohio biologists collected a pregnant fisher killed on the side of the road. They say it’s a sign the weasel-like animal could be reproducing here again, for the first time in more than a century.
