Description

The cave Is Zuddas is famous for a hall which contains many beautiful Speleothem Helictites or Eccentriques. They are built of aragonite.

A skeleton of the endemic rodent Prolagus sardus is on display near the cave entrance. It is extinct for about 400 years and lived only on Sardinia and Corsica.
