If you mean within the cave, it is particularly famous for its bat colonies, but it will no doubt also hold many creatures you probably won't see as a visitor to the show-cave because they are not immediately noticeable. These will be assorted little invertebrates living on the floor, in various nooks and crannies and in any pools or streams in the cave.

No doubt cave-biologists have studied, and may still be studying, the cave's fauna formally.
