Deer Cave Deer Cave is located near Miri, Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo and is a show cave attraction of Gunung Mulu National Park. It was surveyed in 1961 by G.E. Wilford, of the Malaysian Geological Survey, who predicted that Mulu would yield many more caves in the future. It is said to have received its name because of the deer that come to the cave to lick salt-bearing rocks and shelter themselves. The cave was surveyed for the first time in the year 1978, producing measurements of 174 m wide and 122 m high in one section that passed through the mountain for a distance of one kilometer.
People are the tiny dots in the center of the photo gives the perspective of how incredibly large this place is.
Zillions of bats crunched together on the ceiling and making lots of noise before departure, and dropping an occasional wet gift on the trekkers below. |
