What wildlife can be found inside the Nil Diya Pokuna cave?

The wildlife inside Nil Diya Pokuna seems limited to cave-dwelling species, mostly bats and spiders, plus a range of small insects. The total absence of sunlight makes it impossible for larger animal or plant life to keep going deep underground.


Near the entrance, you might see terrestrial leeches and small reptiles, but once you go into the darker stretch, biodiversity falls pretty fast. The bats clinging to the ceiling are harmless to people, yet their guano can leave the rocky ground slick, and it gives off a strong smell inside enclosed rooms.
