The Greater Noctule Bat (Nyctalus lasiopterus) is Europe’s largest bat species, with a wingspan reaching up to 46 cm (18 inches). It is one of the few known bats to prey on small birds, a rare behavior among chiropterans. Found in forests across Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, this elusive species is a powerful aerial hunter, using echolocation to track its prey at night. Due to habitat loss and declining populations, it is classified as a vulnerable species.

This replica is created from a high-precision 3D scan of an authentic Greater Noctule Bat skull. Cast in durable resin and hand-painted, it captures every fine anatomical detail, from its elongated canines for grasping prey to the well-developed auditory structures essential for echolocation.

Ideal for educators, bat enthusiasts, and collectors, this enlarged Greater Noctule Bat skull replica provides an in-depth look into the anatomy and predatory adaptations of one of the most remarkable bats in the world.
