An elk has tested positive for chronic wasting disease in an area of northwestern Wyoming where the animals congregate during the winter at feedgrounds.
As fall turns to winter, numerous animals are leaving their higher-elevation levels to prepare for the oncoming season. Because of this, they are traveling more than usual, and are crossing highways at a higher rate.
Some of us humans are struggling to deal with the new reality of social distancing and quarantines. The Wyoming animals however seem to be doing just fine without so many people around.
