Summary

[edit]
Description

In the cave of hanging snakes The cave near Kantemo has a population of about 70 rat snakes that learned to catch bats on the complete darkness. They hang off the top sensing when bats pass by. The cave is also home to a few species of aquatic animals and a group of invertebrates feeding off guano and each other.

В "пещере висящих змей". В этой пещере возле деревни Кантемо живет популяция из примерно 70 рыжих лазающих полозов. Змеи научились ловить летучих мышей в полной темноте, свисая с потолка пещеры. В пещере есть вода, в которой живет несколько видов слепых креветок и рыб. Обильное гуано в пещере поедают различные беспозвоночные.
