The park's website says that eating and drinking anything other than plain water attracts animals into the cavern.A popular national park is warning visitors about how a piece of litter could drastically impact the ecosystem.
"The processed corn, softened by the humidity of the cave, formed the perfect environment to host microbial life and fungi. Cave crickets, mites, spiders and flies soon organize into a temporary food web, dispersing the nutrients to the surrounding cave and formations. Molds spread higher up the nearby surfaces, fruit, die and stink. And the cycle continues."
"Great or small, we all leave an impact wherever we go. Let us all leave the world a better place than we found it," the post urged park goers.
