In this image from video, a team of biologists from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources search for signs of white-nose syndrome inside a cave near Atlanta. The disease that has killed more than 6 million cave-dwelling bats in the United States is on the move and wildlife biologists are worried. It gets its name from a white fungus that's found on the muzzles, ears and wings of infected bats. In Tennessee, some caves are closed to the public. At Mammoth Cave National Park, visitors are required to scrub their shoes after cave tours. Wildlife biologists say the threat is real -- there is no known way to stop the spread.
