Description forget wolves, bats are better...they are one of my favorite animals
sadly these amusing little creatures are dying off all across north America because of a contagious fungus that causes them to randomly come out of hibernation and eventually starve to death. in some caves as much as 90% of the bats have died because of this (read more here [link] )
so far its killed at least a million bats and in all likely hood will kill millions more before its stopped, at this rate scientists are predicting that the little brown bat (my favorite species) may go extinct within the next 20 years
so quit bitching about your wolves, a bullet is a quick death. starvation is a cruel way to go.

all pictures where found on google....i'll link to the sites...as soon as i find them again

I was afraid of them, until today I experienced a Little brown bat hanging out on the door of our horse stall. Β When I opened the door to get out of the barn (not the stall door though), He/she? Β I always call it a he.. Β He covered his face with his wings. Β I was afraid it would flare like a Hawk and show its fangs.. He just hid his face. I must admit that they are cute, just so long as he stays out of my house. Β Even then we don't kill them, we just open the door and kinda chase them out.. Β lol. Β

HAH! Wolves, misunderstood?
Bats and reptiles are the ones that are most misunderstood.

I know, the poor wittle things. They had a white-nose syndrome preventative program when I went to mammoth cave, Dad and I had to make sure we didn't have on any of the same clothing/accessories we'd had on when we visited a different cave, and we all had to walk through a soapy lysol solution when we came out of the cave so we wouldn't carry any spores with us. I hope they find a cure the fungus soon, I love little brown bats!

I love bats, too!

Bat's are amazing creatures, and it's so sad that everybody believes bats are disgusting animals.
Some people kill bats because they think bats are evil and have rabies D:


Thank you so much for making this stamp :) I hope it has helped at least a few people change their minds about bats.

bats are the only group of mammals that can truely fly.
if that doesn't automatically grant them the right to be saved, then I don't know what does :I

wolves are neat but many wolf species are on the re-bound (the gray wolf isn't even a threatened species anymore ) and its pretty easy to monitor their numbers and movement. unfortunately, because bats roost all over(attics, crawlspaces, abandoned buildings, barns, caves, hollow trees,matted pine branches, etc) and don't really have a defined territory they are a bit harder to track and count. the death count only includes caves we know about and so could be much higher. whats even more disturbing is that no one knows how the fungus spreads and scientists have very few clues how to stop it
they are cool little creatures though we have a bunch of little browns living in the forest behind my house, i love to watch them at night, they are capable of movements in flight that would probably dis-joint the wings on most species of birds and they can eat their body weight in mosquito sized insects in a night
when your house is surrounded by swamp on three sides the fewer bugs the better XD

Excellent point. I always enjoy watching the bats fly around my neighborhood in the summertime.

All the more of a reason to go into biological science at university. Hopefully something can be done to fight the fungus. But even then it is fighting against cruel nature's will.

yeah, its a pretty scary thing too, we still don't really know how the fungus spreads and scientists have few ideas on how to cure it
gotta love bats, they are the best form of all-natural mosquito control
