This is a bat! It's supposedly the smallest bat and is hibernating for the winter. The guide said we didn't see a group of them because they aren't "colonized." I forget which variety this is.
Stalagmite and stalactites.
This is supposed to be the world's biggest stalagmite, Goliath. Unfortuantely, most of my pictures in the cave were pretty bad because it was dark.
Cathedral Cavern also houses the world's largest frozen waterfall formation. Once again, my picture sucks!
Inside the cavern, there were numerous formations that were incredible.
Supposedly, Mr. Gurley, who owned the cave before becoming bankrupt, named the cave Cathedral Cavern because his wife thought these formations reminded her of being in a cathedral. Although the picture doesn't do justice, it was majestic.
If you watched Adventures of Huck and Finn disney movie, apparently, this part of the cavern was in it. The cracks you see were formed from major earthquakes.
Can you see how big they are compared with folks at the bottom of the picture?
Another picture of Goliath, but again came out badly.
This is the opening of the Cathedral Cavern. Pretty big.
And the final parting show of the Cathedral Cavern.
