Even though the landscape has changed quite dramatically over the past few centuries, there are still abundant opportunities for a diverse range of species to prosper. There are 55 documented species of mammals, nearly 50 reptiles, upwards of 40 amphibians, and somewhere in the neighborhood of 427 species of birds (migratory and year-round alike) to be found throughout the Buckeye State. Step forth and uncover twelve of the coolest animals in this overlooked part of the United States.
