The Swiftlet Caves
Crying snakes that catch bats in the dark; blind white crabs that climb walls like spiders; giant crickets that crack open birds' eggs; and cave swiftlet nests that supply a multi-million-dollar soup industry - all part of the remarkable community of animals living in the world's largest caves in Malaysia. Phil Chapman, of Bristol
Museum, tells of his adventures in the caverns where a foot wrong could mean drowning in a quicksand of water-logged guano.
