Bracken Cave
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bracken Cave is the largest known habitat for Mexican Free-tailed Bats in the world. It is located outside of the city of San Antonio, Texas. Bracken Cave is currently estimated to have a colony of more than 20 million bats, making it the single largest concentration of mammals in the world. Bracken Cave is a protected area, and access to the cave is restricted to protect the habitat of the bats residing therein.
The cave is currently owned by Bat Conservation International, which is working to restore the land around the cave to support a large population of many different kind of wildlife, in addition to bats.
