Bracken Cave is the largest habitat for Mexican Free-tailed Bats. It is located outside the city of San Antonio, Texas. Bracken Cave houses a colony of over 20 million bats, making it the largest concentration of mammals. Access to the cave is restricted to protect the habitat of the resident bats.

The cave is owned by Bat Conservation International, which restores the land around the cave to support an abundant variety of wildlife.
