Now to a concerning issue threatening the state's deer population.
For the first time, wildlife officials have detected a deadly
disease in our deer.
It is called chronic wasting disease.
It's a neurological disease in animals like deer,
elk and moose. It was detected in deer in Madeira
in Inyo County.
There is no treatment or vaccine for this illness,
which has now been detected in 34 states,
including California. Officials say the disease is not a threat
to people.
