«The Bats of Elephant Cave, 12th of March 2018»
Coryn Smethurst
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This recording was made in Taman Negara, thought to be the oldest remaining rainforest on earth, in Elephant cave.

The journey to and from Elephant cave was a 7 hour walk/stumble through virgin rainforest, which appeared, at times, to consist solely of multiple trip hazards, with creeping vines, exposed roots, terrestrial leaches, and mud.

Upon my morning arrival I clambered up the outside of the limestone outcrop, which housed the cave, and came upon an opening in the rock where I could hear the bats inside. I started recording and, after some time, began to hear what sounded like human voices, along with the sounds of the bats. I was miles from civilisation, and later, when I entered the cave system, I found no humans.
