Bat Cave Gate Installed
KENTUCKY...
A steel gate has been built across the back of an eastern Kentucky cave where thousands of bats hibernate during the winter.
It replaces a gate that collapsed during heavy flooding over the summer. The gate will protect the back entrance of Bat Cave, at Carter Caves State Resort Park in eastern Kentucky, from intruders while thousands of Indiana bats hibernate there until spring.
