CityNews – Villagers discover albino bats in Tham Luang Mae Sap Cave, Samoeng, after they go to search for lottery number inspiration.

 

The Superintendent of Khun Khan National park confirmed the sighting, telling reporters on November 15 that a number of albino bats have been seen in the Tham Thang Luang Mae Sap Cave. The bats were found in the deep parts of the cave where people have to crawl through a small opening to access.

 

The discovery was made a few days ago after villagers decided to enter the cave in search for lottery number inspiration. For the villagers, the number of albino bats will be used for their lottery number – however, the actual number has yet to be confirmed.

Sheesh - a little late ! Lottery is already over ! Unless they counted 98 Albino bats I don't think they won too much.

Do you know what kind they are? Some sort of fruit bat?

Not sure. Not a fruit bat though and definitely not albino bats. I think fruit bats tend to be the big flying fox variety.  This is a pallid bat. Looks similar looking at the one top right of pic.

Thanks! And you know CityLie, they may have gotten that pic off the web instead of from the cave.

Can only agree. Too stupid to google albino bat just google bats.

Huge...Looks fascinating! Share some pix if you're so inclined.

I used to have a link some dutch cavers made with a drone flying thru the cave, I'll try to find it and send the link.
