The Go Jetters and Bats in Borneo's Deer Cave
In The Go Jetters and Bats in Borneo's Deer Cave, the Go Jetters crew visits the Gua Rusa or Deer Cave in Borneo. Approximately 3 million bats and over 30 species live inside this huge cave. The guano they produce can be used as fertilizer to help plants grow larger and faster. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Go Jetters, a series that follows the adventures of four international heroes as they travel the globe visiting landmarks and solving environmental problems with Ubercorn, a disco-dancing unicorn.
