Horáček's horseshoe bat
The Horáček's horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus horaceki) is a species of bat in the family Rhinolophidae, which is endemic to Cyrenaica, Libya.[1] Previously, populations of these bats were attributed to Rhinolophus clivosus. [2] They were differentiated in 2012. [3] Diet and HabitatHoráček's horseshoe bat occupies mainly Mediterranean steppes and deciduous woodlands, from sea level to 660m above sea level. They roost in natural caves, as well as man-made structures such as cellars and castles. [3] Stomach and fecal samples indicate they eat mainly medium-sized moths, having similar foraging patterns to Greater Horseshoe bats and Geoffrey's Horseshoe bat.[3] They form small groups or roost alone, but have also been found in larger colonies as well.
