Collapsed Cave CeilingSo we're in a cave that has a river flowing through it. We entered the cave by inner tubing into it and then hiked around in the side caverns. This is an area where the ceiling collapsed at some point which is why all the formations are at a slant.
Uploaded on Nov 14, 2009 Fruit BatsThere were all these big shitty holes in the ceilings of the caves. Over hundreds or thousands of years of the bats hanging in the same place, the acidity of their guano and their little claws eat away at the limestone. In some of the caves these holes were over a meter deep. Underneath them there were piles of guano that had sprouts growing out of them from the seeds of the fruit they eat. Without sunlight, the sprouts would only get so big and then die, but it was really interesting to see them in the pitch dark caves.
