Thousands of bats and hidden crystals found inside remote cave in Kenya
Wildlife photographer Ian Redmond filmed the interior of the remote Kitum Cave in western Kenya, home to many creatures including thousands of bats.
Redmond commented after filming in February 2018: "Having spent a cumulative total of 6 months (over several years) living in #KitumCave, studying the famous troglodyte tuskers of Mount Elgon, #Kenya, I am very comfortable around bats." "What makes these caves extraordinary is that the major force of erosion that created them is elephants, tusking and eating the mineral-rich cave walls.
"The cave floor is carpeted in places with elephant dung, so flies and moths must occasionally find themselves in these crystal palaces."
