Disturbing. Bad things will happen if the bats go away.. PR Web via The Extinction Protocol. Excerpts:
Over 7 million bats have been wiped out by a disease (WNS) that is rapidly spreading across the country. It’s an extinction of animals by disease that has no precedent in recorded history. First identified in the northeastern United States, WNS has wiped out an estimated 95% of Pennsylvania’s bat population and is quickly spreading across the country. It was most recently discovered in Missouri, Delaware and Alabama. “This is like bringing small pox to the New World. It is surely an unprecedented wildlife disaster for North America,” said Bucknell University professor Dr. DeeAnn Reeder. Reeder is one of the country’s leading experts on WNS, and one of the researchers responsible for identifying the cause of the disease in 2011. “We can’t stop this thing. It’s marching across the country and we’re going to see some extinction.”
Does it absolutely blow your mind that so many horrible catastrophes are all happening simultaneously? Now; bats? Good luck in your extinction-level battle for survival, my flying friends. At the moment, the odds are not in your favor. Here's hoping your science-friends can unlock the mystery to your demise before that demise happens, forever changing the entire Web of Life.
