Animals are the latest frontier in COVID fight
Wildlife experts are searching for the virus that causes COVID-19 in deer, bears, moose and wolves in Minnesota's north woods. Scientists are deeply concerned that the virus could evolve within animal populations – potentially spawning dangerous viral mutants that could jump back to people, spread among us and reignite what seems like a waning pandemic.

Researchers test wildlife for COVID
For scientist Seth Moore and a team of other wildlife experts, tracking the coronavirus means freezing temperatures, helicopters, trudging through deep snow and getting uncomfortably close to potentially-dangerous wildlife. They're testing deer, moose, bears and wolves on a Native American reservation in the remote north woods of Minnesota, about 5 miles from Canada. They're trying to figure out how, how much and where wildlife is spreading the coronavirus. By The Associated Press
