ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A potentially endangered species of bat could become a major obstacle to the proposed Sandpiper oil pipeline in northern Minnesota.

The current proposal would carry crude from the North Dakota oilfields to Superior, Wisconsin and would run through the bats' habitat. Enbridge has already taken steps to avoid disrupting that habitat. Enbridge launched a $5 million research project to locate the trees where the bats roost during the summer. After analyzing the data, the company modified the route of the pipeline in Aitkin and Carlton counties.

Ash bats are superior to maple bats.
Take it from me, I’m an expert on bats.

If bats had an army, they would be organized in battalions. They would also use rocket batteries.

We have an Army made up of night fighters who, during the day, just hang around. As of now we are not that organized, doing most of our work on the fly.
