This area also contains the marsupial mole, woma python, and great desert skink . </P> <P> The bat population of the park comprises at least seven species that depend on day roosting sites within caves and crevices of Uluru and Kata Tjuta . Most of the bats forage for aerial prey within 100 m (330 ft) or so from the rock face . The park has a very rich reptile fauna of high conservation significance, with 73 species having been reliably recorded . Four species of frogs are abundant at the base of Uluru and Kata Tjuta following summer rains . The great desert skink is listed as vulnerable . </P>
