"Are there any bats?" is one of the most frequently asked questions about our tours. Appalachian Caverns is proud to be the summer home for a colony of Grey Bats. Once upon a time these furry little creatures were the most abundant mammal in the southeastern United States. Through vandalism, habitat destruction, urban sprawl and the interference of man they have now been listed as an Endangered Species. The caverns is also inhabited by several other species of bats all year round. On just about every tour you can see the very common Eastern Pipistrelle. Also often seen are Big Brown Bats.
