It's fairly unusual to see any animals in California's show caves, but that doesn't mean that they are not there. Animals can live at or near the entrance where there is plenty of light, in the twilight zone, where there is some light but it's not very bright, or in the dark zone where no light ever penetrates. To learn more about animals that live in caves, click HERE to go to our Cavern Life lesson plan.

The animals pictured above are all cave dwellers or visitors. The numbers in the cave diagram show where different animals can be found. Can you guess which animals correspond with the numbers in the cave diagram? Click on the cave diagram to open a PDF version of this quiz which you can print out.
