What is another word for hipposideridae?
Pronunciation: [hˈɪpəsˌɪdɪɹˌɪdiː] (IPA) 
Hipposideridae is a family of bats commonly known as Old World leaf-nosed bats. The scientific name "Hipposideridae" derives from the Greek words hippos, meaning horse, and sideros, meaning iron, which refers to the horseshoe-shaped protrusion around their nostrils that looks like iron. Some synonyms for the term Hipposideridae include leaf-nosed bats, roundleaf bats, and horseshoe bats. These bats are typically found in Africa, Asia, and parts of Australia and are known for their unique ability to echolocate and navigate in the dark. Their horseshoe-shaped nose allows them to produce high-frequency calls that bounce off nearby objects and help them locate prey and avoid obstacles in the dark.
