== Fauna and flora == The Queensland Department of Environment and Science have recognised more than 120 species of bird including the vulnerable [[Red goshawk|Red Goshawk]].<ref name=parks/> E-bird has recorded 132 species at Undara Experience just on the northern edge of the park.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ebird.org/hotspot/L2503746|title=Explore Hotspots - eBird: Undara Experience|website=ebird.org|language=en|access-date=2020-03-27|archive-date=18 February 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230218222645/https://ebird.org/hotspot/L2503746|url-status=live}}</ref> Undara Volcanic National Park is home to four insectivorous or micro bats; the [[bent-wing bat|Bent-wing Bat]], the [[eastern cave bat|Eastern Cave Bat]], the Northern [[Horseshoe bat|Horseshoe Bat]] (alternative name: [[Eastern Horseshoe Bat]]) and the [[Coastal sheath-tailed bat|Coastal Sheath-tailed Bat]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.allaboutbats.org.au/|title=Welcome to All About Bats|website=All About Bats|language=en-AU|access-date=2020-03-27|archive-date=27 March 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200327035746/http://www.allaboutbats.org.au/|url-status=live}}</ref> The large number of bats provide food for various snakes and birds of prey. Bayllis Cave is one of the worldโs most biologically diverse caves. The cave has recorded 52 resident species including the most diverse assemblage of arthropods found in a north Queensland Cave.<ref name=parks/> The national park is also home to a wide range of [[Macropodidae|macroropods]] including the [[Common wallaroo|Common Wallaroos]], the [[Antilopine kangaroo|Antilopine Wallaroo]] and the [[Northern quoll|Northern Quoll.]]<ref name=parks/> Much of the national park is dry [[savanna]] woodland but the lava tubes and collapse areas now provide an environment for other vegetation to flourish in the damp interiors. The lava tubes show up as rich green vine thickets that have strong affinities with [[Gondwana]] species. The rare [[Ipomoea saintronanensis|white-flowered onion vine]] occurs within the park's vine thickets.<ref name=parks/>
