The whiskered bat is a relatively new species on the list of Israel's bats. The species was discovered during a bat survey conducted by Dr. Benny Shalmon at Mount Hermon in 1994. Israel is at the edge of the species' global range; apart from Hermon, it has been recorded at a few sites in northern Israel.
