The "White-Nose Syndrome" is a mysterious epidemic that has been causing the deaths of thousands upon thousands of bats in the Northeastern part of the United States. The symptoms appear during the hibernation season and include general weakness, poor health and a white fungus around the nose . As of yet, no definitive cause has been identified for this disease. If it continues on, scientists fear it could cause the extinction of the Indiana Bat and decimate the population of other bats species.
