Subject: [Texascavers] bats cats and mice
someone mentioned to me a trivial pursuit question regarding what
mammal lives in caves? the answer of course is bats . . . which
got me to wondering if bats habitually live any further into a cave
than the bears, cats etc which use caves as dens
for their lodging.

Lots of nice responses, thanks all. The consensus would appear to be
that a great variety of mammals (and others) utilize caves to an equal
extent as bats. And that all use the cave as a dwelling rather than a

Long and Short of it. Some bats live in the twilight zone area (entrances) some
live very deep in the cave IE Honey Creek I'm sure folks have had bats land on
