Look! It's a bird! It's a plane! NO! It's a Mammoth Cave bat!

While Mammoth Cave National Park is home to a wide variety of animals that live both above and below ground, the 13 confirmed species of bats that call the Park home seem to be of particular interest to curious visitors. You might see a bat on your cave tour, but not all take refuge inside the caves, so you might see one flitting around in trees, on structures throughout the Park, or burrowed under leafy brush.

Maybe you'll get a glimpse of the Rafinesques big-eared bat while touring Refinesque Hall inside Mammoth Cave? But then again you might also run into the cave crickets and cave spiders!
