Bats in the North East US Suffering Mysterious Plague

[chibimermaid]

Wildlife biologists are scrambling to understand a mysterious epidemic being called "White Nose Syndrome" that has killed tens of thousands of bats in upstate New York. Scientists are trying to prevent the sickness from spreading. As a result, most caves in New York, Vermont, and New Jersey are closed to the public.

Oh man, that's scary.
If it really is connected to the honeybee thing, I hope it doesn't spread to any other types of animals, 'cause it seems to fuck things up left and right.

As I began reading this I was reminded of the honeybee colony collapse. Watched the whole documentary on PBS one day. THAT scares the fucking hell out of me.

It's official, I'm moving to Montana.
