Exploration of caves takes us into a different world from that above ground. Exotic formations, streams and waterfalls, tight crawl ways, deep canyons and pits, crickets, bats and salamanders await the cave explorer. Caving can be a strenuous sport, a casual hobby, a means to conducting scientific research, or all of these and more. Many caves are found locally in Oklahoma and are formed through a variety of natural processes.

White-nose syndrome is a disease affecting hibernating bats. Named for the white fungus that appears on the muzzle and other body parts of hibernating bats, WNS is associated with extensive mortality of bats in eastern North America. First documented in New York in the winter of 2006-2007, WNS has spread rapidly across the eastern United States and Canada, and the fungus that causes WNS has been detected as far west as Oklahoma.
