		Cave formation in limestone occurs because limestone dissolves under the action of rainwater and groundwater charged with CO carbonic acid) and naturally occurring organic acids.
		Cave inhabiting animals can be categorized as troglobites (cave limited-species), troglophiles (species which can live their entire lives in caves, but also occur in other environments), trogloxenes (species which utilize caves, but must leave the caves to complete their life cycle) and accidentals.
		Because of the fragile nature of the cave ecosytem, and the fact that cave regions tend to be isolated from one another, caves harbor a number of endangered species, such as, for example the Tooth cave spider, Liphistiidae Liphistius trapdoor spider and the Gray bat.

		Limestone caves are often adorned with calcium carbonate formations produced through slow precipitation, including the most common and well-known stalactite (stalactite: A cylinder of calcium carbonate hanging from the roof of a limestone cave) s and stalagmite (stalagmite: A cylinder of calcium carbonate projecting upward from the floor of a limestone cave) s.

		Caves are also important for geological research because they can reveal details of past climactic conditions in speleothems and sediment (sediment: Matter deposited by some natural process) layers.
