Description wikipedia

The gray bat (Myotis grisescens) is a species of microbat endemic to North America. It once flourished in caves all over the southeastern United States, but due to human disturbance, gray bat populations declined severely during the early and mid portion of the 20th century. Today, only fifteen caves support 95% of hibernating gray bats. M. grisescens has been listed as federally endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service since 1976, and is protected under the Endangered Species Act. Gray bat populations were estimated at approximately 2 million bats around the time they were placed on the Endangered Species list. By the early 1980s populations of gray bats dropped to 1.6 million. With conservation efforts in place, in 2004, gray bat populations were estimated to have reached 3.4 million.

회색박쥐(Myotis grisescens)는 애기박쥐과 윗수염박쥐속에 속하는 박쥐이다. 미국 남동부 전역의 동굴에서 발견되는 흔한 종이었지만, 사람들의 서식지 교란으로 20세기 초와 중반 동안에 개체수가 심하게 감소했다. 앨라배마주 북서부의 조지타운 동굴에서만, 1969년 한 때 150,000여 마리의 박쥐가 10,000마리로 개체수가 감소했다. 1976년 이후 미국 어류 및 야생동물관리국이 연방 멸종위기종으로 지정하고, 멸종위기동식물보호법으로 보호하고 있다. 회색박쥐 개체수는 멸종위기종 목록으로 지정될 때, 약 2백만 마리로 추산되었다. 1980년대 초까지 약 160만 마리로 감소했다. 보호 노력 덕분에 2002년 230만 마리로 추산되고 있다.
