Looking for cave fish and crayfish. Just a usual day in the field. This cave was small, and this was about the largest it got.

schneckenhausUnterhalb der zweiten Spalte der Tschudnite Mostowe verengt sich der Fluss ElKyupriya wieder zu einem dunklen Lauf; das Wasser verschwindet im Felsen. Die Brücken und die Gegend des Karsttals im Berggebiet Černatice ist seit 1949 als offizielles Naturdenkmal geschützt.

Die natürlichen Felsformation Tschudnite Mostowe (= „wunderbare Brücken“) wirken wie ein Tor unter der Erde. Der größte Bogen spannt sich 45 Meter hoch und 40 Meter breit über den Fluss ElKyupriya, der das Gestein einst aushöhlte bevor ein Erdbeben die Decke einstürzen lies. Das Echo der Tropfen hallt unter den massiven Wänden wider und lässt die Dimension des Raums spürbar werden.

Secrets of the Karst
The ornate flying snake (Chrysopelea ornata) – also known as the golden tree snake – glides from tree to tree by flattening its rib cage and twisting through the air like a shimmering ribbon. Its vivid colouring makes it popular among collectors.

The brown tree frog, also known as the Hong Kong whipping frog, found in the Phnom Prampi cave in Battambang province, a designated natural heritage site. The frog gets its name from the way the female uses her back legs to whip up foam before making a nest for her eggs.
