I have some VERY BAD NEWS.

I have always loved bats, they are a beautiful and needed creature in the night. They help control the Mosquito menace by eating them every nite... among other things.

And now they are in extreme danger of extinction!!

the disease is called White Nose Syndrome, and its mortality rate among bats is a whopping 95%.

Here is a link for more data.
