The cave's current residents include several thousand Gray Bats, zan endangered species whose population stronghold is in northeastern Alabama. Where the springs emerge from the cave, a family of Beavers has built a substantial dam, creating an area of flooded woodland and marsh, perfect for birding.

The deeper water can attract Wood Duck and other waterfowl, especially in the winter.
