Myotis
capacconii:
This species is immediately recognized by its relatively large feet, almost three quarter of the length of the tibia. The range of the species is northwestern Africa, southern Europe and eastern Mediterranean region east to Uzbekistan which further record from China, Korea and Japan Atallah (1977) suggested that the mating season maybe in the fall. Following the mating season, males and female segregate to separate quarters. It is speculated that the large feet of these animals are used to capture insects on surfaces of water where these bats can be frequently seen. |
