Scientists have recently confirmed the presence of white-nose syndrome at Mammoth Cave National Park, the ninth national park to discover the syndrome in bat populations. White-nose syndrome, which interrupts bats' hibernation and destroys ...wing tissues, was discovered in a cave that is not open to the public. The Mammoth Cave and other tour caves in the park remain open. Learn more about white-nose syndrome at http://www.nature.nps.gov/biology/wns/index.cfm.
