The cave has been divided into three ecological zones with criteria the light, the temperature and humidity. These zones are: Entrance zone.
This zone includes the distance between the natural entrance and 40 meters
further in, that is to say as far as light can get. Variable temperature and humidity zone.
This zone covers the part between the zone of entrance and artificial
entrance due to currents of air Stable temperature and
humidity zone. It includes the rest of the cave. Temperature
and humidity are practically stable 17oC and 95% respectively. This zone
has immeasurable biological value since it was the natural habitat (before
the closing of the natural entrance) apart from others, at least 7 kinds
of bats and it is the place where 4 troglovia endemic species live.
