status

 

Rhinolophus ferrumequinum quelpartis , Greater Horseshoe Bat

The Jeju population was regarded as a separate subspecies (R. f. quelpartis) from the Korean peninsula (R. f. korai) but R. f. korai could be a synonym of R. f. quelpartis based on genetic data ( Sim, 1986).

Greater horseshoe bats on Jeju are found to roost in sea caves, montane caves, and tunnels in large groups of 50 to several hundred. It is commonly observed even around villages, and prefers riparian areas in evergreen broadleaf forests ( Oh et al., 2007).
