Originally known as the Oklahoma Bat Caves National Wildlife Refuge, Ozark Plateau National Wildlife Refuge was established for the protection of endangered bats and their habitat. The refuge is made up of several parcels of land located in northeastern Oklahoma. These parcels contain numerous caves considered crucial for the bats' survival. The endangered cave species include the Ozark big-eared bat (''Corynorhinus townsendii ingens''), gray bat (''Myotis grisescens''), Indiana bat (''Myotis sodalis''), and Ozark cavefish (''Amblyopsis rosae'') To protect the fragile habitats provided by the caves and the forests surrounding them, this refuge is currently closed to the general public. ==References== *(Refuge profile ) *(Refuge website ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ozark Plateau National Wildlife Refuge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
