Rhinolophus Acuminatus - Sharp-Nosed Horseshoe Bat - 20 x 25cm

The Rhinolophus Acuminatus, also known as the sharp-nosed horseshoe bat, is an intriguing species of bat recognized for its distinctive nose structure. With a body length of 4 to 5 centimeters and a wingspan of 30 to 35 centimeters, this small but remarkable bat is easily identifiable by its unique horseshoe-shaped nose leaf, which is elongated and pointed at the tip. This feature helps the bat with echolocation, allowing it to navigate through its environment and hunt for insects with precision.

The Rhinolophus Acuminatus is native to tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, including countries like China, India, and Southeast Asia. It typically roosts in caves, rock crevices, and abandoned buildings, where it remains during the day. At night, it emerges to feed on a wide variety of insects, particularly moths, which make up a large part of its diet. Its keen echolocation abilities make it an efficient hunter in the dark, navigating through dense environments.
