Description
Two "little brown bats" in Boulder County have been found with white-nose syndrome in the past month.
On Feb. 29, a bat was found crawling on a public bike path in Longmont, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW). Its wings appeared brittle, which prevented the bat from flying, CPW said.
The bat was sent to the CPW Wildlife Health Lab for further investigation.
On March 5, CPW sent samples from the bat to Colorado State University for testing, CPW said. The test results confirmed the bat had white-nose syndrome, according to CPW.
