yup, many bats...actually it depends on the caves but usually I see at least four different types. They're funny looking animals with interesting habits, and stay mostly around the first 600 mt near the caves entrance. They don't really need to push any far or deep as we do, since the food they need (mosquito, little insects, moths) is near the exit or outside.
I bet I like them more than they like me...I guess they think we're sort of intruders or stuff.

thanks.
calcite popcorns ar quite common in sardinian caves, but i thought this one was particularly nice. to give you an idea of the dimension, know that the biggest "popcorn" in that pic has the same size of a golf ball.
