Safety note: May carry rabies — do not approach or handle.
The Indiana Bat is federally endangered and winters in just a few large cave hibernacula, where millions once clustered so densely that individuals packed 300 to the square foot. White-nose Syndrome has caused dramatic population declines, and the species remains one of North America's most imperiled mammals. Females summer in loose colonies under the exfoliating bark of large dead trees.
