| Abstract: | Discussed is the occurrence of three rare species of bats in Morocco. Nycteris thebaica and Hipposideros caffer originate from Africa, south of the Sahara; in Morocco they live exclusively along the Atlantic coast. Pipistrellus rueppelli which was caught in the presaharian area (Tafilalt) is reported for the first time in Morocco. The populations of all three species are considered as remnants. |
