The Greater Horseshoe Bat (*Rhinolophus ferrumequinum*) is a medium-sized bat found across Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia. It is easily recognized by its distinctive horseshoe-shaped noseleaf, which helps it echolocate. This species typically roosts in caves, old buildings, and tree hollows, where it can form large colonies. These bats primarily feed on insects, using their echolocation abilities to hunt at night. The Greater Horseshoe Bat plays a vital role in controlling insect populations and is considered a key species in its ecosystem. Conservation efforts are important for protecting its habitats, as many populations are threatened by habitat loss and climate change.
