In this week's Nevada Wild, Ashley Sanchez and Aaron Keller sit down with NDOW's Bighorn Sheep Staff Specialist Mike Cox to reflect on the similarities between COVID-19 in humans and a disease pandemic in wild sheep that biologists in North America have been dealing with for centuries. Mike explains the challenges the disease pandemic in wild sheep has created as they try to restore populations, its similarities to COVID-19 in humans, and the successes biologists and partners have had in restoring bighorn sheep herds.
