Bats attacked by deadly fungus
By
St. George, Utah — According to Utah biologists, the bats suffer from a fungus called white-nose syndrome.
The latest research shows that the fungus attacks the skin of the bats while they hibernate and wakes them. Biologists say while bats attempt to clean off the fungus it gets on their ears and noses.
According to the Utah biologists, it has affected the U.S. and Canadian bat populations ever since but Utah is one currently unaffected.
The Division of Natural Resources surveys the local bats in rotation every three years. They catch bats in soft netting to take measurements and monitor the bat populations.
