Rhinolophus rehabilitation scheme.
Due to #Covid19 Rhinolophus has recently received bad press for no good reason.
By the way, there are >100 Rhinolophus species in Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania.
They have some incredible abilities (see thread).
What is you preferred species?
Rhinolophus species use a highly sophisticated echolocation system. They use the so-called Doppler shift effect to differentiate in the frequency range the call they emit from the returning echos. This means they can emit call and receive+process echoes at the same time! #bats
Given that they emit their echolocation calls through their nose (they can also emit through the mouth by the way), they can eat and echolocate at the same time.
Bon appetit!
Some Rhinolophus species such as R. hipposideros have their own personal blanket to keep them cosy during the winter (i.e. they wrap themselves in their wings).
and Rhinolophus species always have bright ideas ....

What is your favourite?
Any nice picture of a Rhinolophus species?
Any nice Rhinolophus story?
Would be great to also hear from Africa and Asia where most Rhinolophus species are.
