Bats in Malaysia

Bats! We got to see bats in their caves!!! We cruised on the little river boat up to “Crocodile Rock”. There they manipulated the boat INTO the mouth of the cave, coming very close to the top of our boat. However, we were well rewarded with a view of bats roosting inside the ‘belly’ of the crocodile. They also took us to a nearby cave where we could walk through and see the limestone caverns along with hundreds of bats. On my side of the lantern, it was cool to see so many bats up in the far reaches of the cave. I’m sure on the other side of the light, the bats were not too pleased to be disturbed in the middle of their night. Some fussed and watched us pass, others just snuggled into their wings and attempted to ignore us.
With over 100 different species of bats in Malaysia, I have no idea which bats we had the opportunity to disturb.
