The cave hosts a rich cave ecosystem with nearly 200 animal species, including 92 troglobionts, making it a global biodiversity hotspot. The underground temperatures hover around 11.4°C, fostering a unique environment. Additionally, the chemical composition of water reveals high oxygen saturation and consistent calcium levels.
