# data[].attributes.body
The Long-Eared Myotis was listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 2015. This is a step up for the bats, as they were previously listed as endangered.
This species was majorly affected by White-Nose Syndrome, a disease caused by an invasive fungus.

WNS causes bats to be more susceptible to bacteria and other diseases. Once a bat has WNS a single interaction with a human or a scratch could be fatal.

This bat can be found sporadically throughout Canada down the East Coast to Florida. They like to live in forests and caves.
Many are found in Mountain Region of NC

There are many scientists researching to find a cure for White-Nose Syndrome. While they have not found a cure yet, they have raised awareness about decontaminating clothing before going into a cave with bats and to never interact with wild bats (this will help stop the spread of the fungus and reduce bat deaths).
