³This is probably one of the strangest and most puzzling problems we
have had with bats,² said Paul Cryan, a bat ecologist with the United
States Geological Survey. ³It¹s really startling that we¹ve not come up

American bats we¹ve experienced in recorded history. ³It definitely
warrants immediate and careful attention.²
