Indiana Bat

An endangered specie from my very own state, the Indiana Bat, has been endangered since 1967. They look like your average bat although they are a bit smaller, about two inches.
The main cause of the Indiana Bats being put on the endangered species list are:
  • Humans have altered cave entrances and/or destroyed them.
  • Hibernating bats are often disturbed by humans.
  • The loss of habitat is the biggest factor.
  • Pesticides are also killing many of the bats.
