Many people might immediately think of the two pipistrelle species dubbed informally the 45 and 55 kHz pipistrelles: in 1993 it was discovered that the ‘species’ Pipistrellus pipistrellus actually consisted of two distinct species, both of which differed in the echolocation frequencies of their calls, and which were later shown to differ in genetics, morphology and behaviour (Barlow et al. 1997, Davidson-Watts & Jones 2006).

Mammals and reptiles are particularly poor: two species of mammal Nyctalus leisleri verrucosus and Pipistrellus maderensis, and one species of reptile Lacerta duguesii are reported.

It also harbors two endemic species of Vespertilionidae bats (Myotis altarium and Pipistrellus pulveratus) (Table 1).

Atlantic Islands Pipistrelle (Pipistrellus maderensis, VU) and Canary Big-eared bat (Plecotus teneriffae, VU) are considered near-endemic to this ecoregion (but endemic to the Archipelago).

The underground galleries hold ten species of wintering bat in reasonable numbers including the rare and Shreiber's bat Miniopterus schreibersi, lesser horseshoe bat Rhinolophus hipposideros (VU), long-fingered bat Myotis capaccinii (VU), greater mouse-eared bat M. myotis, Savi's pipistrelle Pipistrellus savii and western barbastelle Barbastella barbastellus (VU).

One near-endemic mammal occurs here, the disc-footed bat (Eudiscopus denticulus), and an endemic pipistrelle (Pipistrellus lophurus) (Table 1).
