Essay / Research Paper Abstract
9 pages in length. Like all other species on the endangered list, the Indiana bat is fighting for its very existence. Due to man's encroachment – sometimes accidental, oftentimes blatant and deliberate – this particular type of bat is struggling to uphold its precarious place upon the life chain. Perhaps it is the uniqueness of this species that has caused it to become endangered, or maybe it is because mankind still does not understand the consequential impact his actions have in a synergistic sense to the ecosystem as a whole. No matter the cause, the Indiana bat – who was placed upon the endangered species list in 1967 due to a population decrease of a full fifty percent since the 1930s – is being helped by the establishment of protective reserves and legal enforcement. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

of bat is struggling to uphold its precarious place upon the life chain. Perhaps it is the uniqueness of this species that has caused it to become endangered, or
maybe it is because mankind still does not understand the consequential impact his actions have in a synergistic sense to the ecosystem as a whole. No matter the cause,
the Indiana bat - who was placed upon the endangered species list in 1967 due to a population decrease of a full fifty percent since the 1930s (Indiana Bat; Myotis
Sodalis) - is being helped by the establishment of protective reserves and legal enforcement. II. THE SPECIES The very social Myotis sodalis, which means mouse ears and companion (Myotis
sodalis), is quite similar to its more common brown, grey and keen counterparts; as such, its three unique features help to distinguish it from other bats: pink lips, smaller back
foot with spur-like appendage and multi-colored hair. Given a single bat, the pink characteristics of its lips might not immediately stand out, however, when a cluster of bats are
found in hibernation, identification of the Indiana bat becomes instantaneous from most other bats that have brown lips (Indiana Bat). The Pennsylvania native has the distinction of being classified as
the last mammal to be discovered from that area. While the Indiana bat is found all throughout the eastern United States, its origin dates back to the caves of
the Appalachian Mountains when, in 1928, hordes were found hibernating. It is speculated that the bats chose this particular location for its high moisture content and temperatures between thirty-nine
and forty-five degrees; however, this has not yet been scientifically proven due to the fact that little else is known about this particular species when it is not in hibernation
