White Nose Syndrome

A fungus is quickly killing entire bat populations in the US.

"White-nose itself doesn't kill bats, but it disturbs their sleep so that they end their hibernation early. During the winter there are no insects to eat, so the bats literally starve to death."

"Researchers say the syndrome has killed upward of half a million bats from New England to Virginia."

Say goodbye to bats and hello to insects and disease...
