Hipposideros cineraceus Detailed Introduction

       The grey horseshoe bat is a cave bat. About 50 species were found in the air raid shelter of Zhidong Village, Mingjiang Town, Chongzuo Ning, Guangxi. It is found in Gulong Cave and Shuangbai Mine in Yuanjiang, Yunnan. Also living in the same caves are the small hoofed bats, which have a much larger population. Because of their narrow range and even rarer numbers, they are highly vulnerable and need to be protected.
