A fungus that is destroying bat populations in eastern North America has made its first appearance on the Canadian Prairies.
Researchers with the Wildlife Conservation Society report that they've found the fungus that causes white-nose syndrome in eastern Saskatchewan, despite hopes the western grasslands would prove a barrier.
"We have found the fungus," said Cory Olson, who discovered it while researching how bats use structures on the prairies such as bridges.
