Is Deer Cave Bat Exodus (Gunung Mulu) happening right now?
As of today, in season now. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Each evening the large cave-roost at Deer Cave in Gunung Mulu National Park expels a dense stream of insectivorous bats that emerge to forage.
The spectacle is a reliable nightly event that draws wildlife viewers and photographers to the park's boardwalks and viewing clearings.
