- We have another one.
This is from Anna, who is actually homeschooled,
in Chesapeake Beach, Maryland.
Hey, I've been there before.
What's your most favorite cave?
And we're gonna have this cave cover it's ears, hold on.
Okay.
- I think Mammoth Cave has been my favorite cave
because it's in Kentucky, so it's close to
where I did a geology field trip, and it's just monstrous,
just like the name says, Mammoth.
It is huge.
- [Anna] And, you're a paleontologist.
- And I'm a paleontologist that refers to the elephants
that used to be in North America.
Do you know elephants were in North America?
No, yes, yep, come on. (laughing)
You're too cold? (laughing)
So yes, mammoths and other elephants
were around in North American over 10,000 years ago.
- I have to say Carlsbad Caverns National Park.
- Ah okay. - It's just a beautiful cave,
if you have the chance go visit, it's in New Mexico.
I'm kinda biased 'cause I work for the National Park Service
but it's one of those wonders of the world, so.
- So, do you wanna. - Yeah.
- Do you say your favorite cave?
- Why actually how about you Amtchat?
- Oh, oh, oh.
- Alright, I've been in two caves, I think I'm gonna say
my favorite cave is gonna be at Blanchard Springs.
- Yes, yes! - It was awesome,
the folks there were great and it was wild,
there were bats everywhere and bat poop everywhere
but you know, you look past that
because the cave is just so cool.
- We're really happy there's bat poop there
cause that means there's bats there, which is great!
- There's life! - Yes, yes.
