The Bat Cave is an exhibit in the Royal Ontario Museum. It is a reconstruction of parts of St. Clair Cave in Jamaica. St. Clair Cave is a tunnel cave, formed by an underground river, which is famous for the enormous amount of bats living in the cave.
The walk-through diorama shows not only bats, but also other cave animals like tailless scorpions and cave crickets. A part of the exhibition shows the enemies of bats, wild cats, and snakes.
