The Bat field of the Vertebrate section should be used to record any observation of living bats.
Some caves are habitats for bats. If present, they can be found almost anywhere in the cave from the entrance to deep within. Bats may occupy the cave seasonally (hibernation or maternity) or remain year round. Bats may be observed singly or in a group. They may be resting or flying. Indications that bats may be present include guano on the cave floor, in pools or on formations, and/or stains or scratches on the ceiling. It is highly unusual to find a bat on the floor and is an indication that something may be wrong. Do not disturb any bats observed.
