crevice

Through a small crevice in the rubble they spot the trapped boy, trying to move his legs, his babygrow and a single blue sock visible to the rescue crew.

It’s believed Golden State bats are clustering in smaller numbers in rock crevices, swaying palm fronds, freeway underpasses and other hideaways where they’re hard to find.

The woman - named in reports as Matilda Campbell - was walking in New South Wales' Hunter Valley region earlier this month when she fell into the three-metre crevice.

That’s why it’s important to keep an eye out and avoid sticking your hands or feet in places you can’t see, such as crevices between rocks or patches of shrubs.

Bats love to set up home in the holes and crevices which appear when ancient woodlands begin to decay.
