Shhhh...dont wake up the bats! White-nose syndrome, a disease of cave-hibernating bats caused by a fungus, has made being a bat even more complicated. The fungus grows on the exposed skin of hibernating bats and disrupts their natural hibernating patterns---they wake too frequently and starve to death. Humans may be unknowingly helping to spread white-nose syndrome by carrying the fungus on boots, clothes, and gear. If youre a cave aficionado, be sure to know and follow the simple steps that will help keep bats healthy and hibernating.
