Rhinolophus ferrumequinum
Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, commonly known as the greater horseshoe bat, is a remarkable and nocturnal flying mammal that can be found in Croatia.
These bats, characterized by their distinctive horseshoe-shaped nose-leaf, play a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance by controlling insect populations in the region. However, they face challenges from habitat loss and disturbances due to human activities.
Conservation efforts are essential to protect their roosting sites and ensure their continued presence in Croatia. Let's work together to safeguard the greater horseshoe bats in Croatia!
