EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this enchanting snapshot captured by wildlife photographer Paul van Gaalen, we are transported into the mysterious world of hibernating bats. Nestled deep within the caves of NP Bohemian Forest, a mesmerizing scene unfolds before our eyes. A colony of Brown Big-eared Bats and Long-eared Bats find solace in their winter slumber, gracefully hanging upside down from the cave ceiling. With wings delicately folded around them, these agile insectivores rest peacefully as they await warmer days. As nightfall blankets the forest, these nocturnal creatures embrace their solitary retreats. Each bat finds its own sheltering spot amidst nature's reserve - a true testament to their independence and resilience. The European wilderness provides an ideal sanctuary for these magnificent mammals. Protected within this national park, they can thrive undisturbed while contributing to vital conservation efforts. Van Gaalen's print captures not only the beauty but also highlights the importance of preserving our natural habitats for future generations. It serves as a gentle reminder that even in sleep, wildlife plays an essential role in maintaining ecological balance. So let us marvel at this image and join these remarkable creatures on their journey through dreamscape caves – where bats hang effortlessly and remind us all to appreciate life's little wonders!
