Entering a hot cave is like walking into a sauna, with 90-plus degree temperatures and 100 percent humidity. While this environment is challenging for humans, it’s perfect for Jamaican Flower Bats to have pups and rear their young. Stony Hill Cave is the last known maternity roost for the Jamaican Flower Bat, and we’re working with partners to protect this incredibly fragile habitat, where even a slight drop in temperature could make it uninhabitable for bats and cause the species to go extinct.
