It could become threatened in the near future if current threats go unchecked.
The Indiana bat is a species of the eastern United States with a very demanding annual cycle: it hibernates in only a handful of caves and mines of very stable temperature, where it packs together at densities of up to three hundred animals per square metre, and in summer the females breed under the loose bark of dead trees in riverside woodland. That double dependence makes it extraordinarily vulnerable, and white-nose syndrome has decimated its hibernating colonies.
