The family Rhinolophidae, commonly known as horseshoe bats, consists of small to medium-sized bats found primarily in Europe, Asia, and Africa. They are characterized by their unique noseleaf structures, which resemble a horseshoe shape and help them echolocate effectively. This adaptation allows them to navigate and hunt for insects in the dark. Horseshoe bats typically roost in caves, old buildings, or tree hollows. They are nocturnal creatures, emerging at dusk to forage for food. With over 100 species, Rhinolophidae plays a vital role in controlling insect populations and maintaining ecological balance in their habitats.
