Mediterranean Horseshoe Bat prefers karst areas
with caves and mines, hunting in deciduous forests and avoiding
conifers and open habitats. Both maternity and hibernation
colonies usually include one main group with a few thousand bats
and several satellite colonies of 10-300 individuals. In Serbia this
species has been ringed since 1955. Altogether there were 1,036
bats ringed at 24 localities, mostly at eastern Serbia. Up to 2017,
25 recovery records were found. Almost all of them were loco, but
one bat moved 4 km from Lazareva Pećina to Hajdučka Pećina
cave. One individual was recaptured four times during 13.5 years,
speaking of extreme philopatry of this species.
