Florida Bristle Fern, Bonneted Bat May Be Shielded

MIAMI (AP) ― A bat and a fern found only in Florida may be added to the federal list of endangered and threatened species.

The Florida bristle fern is found only in pine woods in Miami-Dade and Sumter counties.

The Florida bonneted bat is found in only a dozen spots in South and central Florida.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced Friday that the species are under consideration.
