This large-eared bat occurs from North Africa into the Middle East. A study tracking reproductive females in the Negev Desert found that they mainly roosted in rock cracks.
It is large, with a forearm 50–67 mm long and ears 33–45 mm long. The very long ears are separated at the forehead, and the fur is described as pale gray.
Reproductive females tracked in the central Negev mainly rested in rock cracks. Pregnant females tended to use horizontal cracks, while lactating females used vertical ones.
