Egyptian mouse-tailed bat

Mammals

The Egyptian mouse-tailed bat, Rhinopoma cystops, is a species of mouse-tailed bat found in North Africa and the Middle East. Oldfield Thomas described it as a new species in 1903 from a holotype that Charles Rothschild collected near Luxor, Egypt. It was long treated as a subspecies of the lesser mouse-tailed bat, Rhinopoma hardwickii, until a 2007 paper by Hulva and colleagues argued that it deserves full species status. It has 28 teeth. The species is colonial, forming groups of a few individuals or as many as a thousand, and it roosts in both caves and human structures. Its range takes in a long list of countries from Morocco and Senegal to Syria, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Yemen, and it has been recorded at elevations up to 1,100 metres. As of 2017 the IUCN evaluated it as Least Concern because its range is wide and no major threats are known.
