Mammiferi
Rinolofo maggiore
Rhinolophus ferrumequinum
A protected species
For this species we do not publish precise locations or the timing of sightings. That is exactly the information someone would need to find and disturb it. What we do publish is the region and the fact that it lives here.
Description
The full description of this species — how to recognise it, how it behaves, how to watch it without disturbing it — is written in Italian by our editors. We do not machine-translate wildlife texts: a wrong sentence about a protected animal is worse than no sentence at all.
