Ohio is home to some amazing species! Keep you eyes open for some of these animals when walking, hiking, and even relaxing in your own backyard.  If you see them, enjoy the moment, take a picture, but do not disturb.
​Wildlife should be left in the wild.

The more we do to conserve valuable habitat, the more we do to protect the wildlife that shares the great state of Ohio with us.
