| Bat Scream of Anger from WIRED.com |
Probably because the most virulent disease in the history of mammals has KILLED HIS ENTIRE FAMILY.
Anyone who knows me knows I love bats. I love them. I think they're adorable, and they eat the things that almost got me killed with malaria. They fly, and they make awesome noises, and their wings are like extendo-hands. They're rad little examples of evolution at work, and their little faces are so cute it's almost painful.
And they're being coated in white killer fungus crap, blinding them and leaving them dead by the thousands at the bottom of caves all over North America.
It's called White Nose Syndrome, and WIRED has an awesome, in-depth article that's a really deep look at a really big problem.
Five pages of which I summarize after the jump.
