Eccentric? Perhaps. Fascinating? Definitely! The greater horseshoe bat bears its name with pride: the conspicuous, horseshoe-shaped skin structure on its nose is used for echolocation - a perfect instrument for its nocturnal hunting expeditions. It is not only a technical master of nature, but also one of the rarest bat species in Central Europe.
In this illustration, it shows itself in all its extravagant beauty: the striking face, the finely veined wings, the focussed gaze - here science becomes art and a hidden creature becomes a charismatic star of the night.
Ideal for anyone who loves the unusual, for nature connoisseurs with a sense of aesthetics - or simply as an extraordinary eye-catcher with a story. This picture makes visible what otherwise remains hidden and reminds us how precious and worthy of protection the diversity of our native wildlife is.
