Science - Zoology / Folleto turístico sobre Argelia
English term or phrase: cool pipistrelle
Buenas. Estoy traduciendo un tríptico sobre Argelia para una agencia de viajes. Una frase dice:

"A small zoo specializing in night-time animals, including the desert gopher, the cool pipistrelle and the Libyan giant moth".

Gracias desde ya.

Spanish translation:murciélago de borde claro
Explanation:
El "cool" pipistrelle no existe. Debe ser una mala transcripción del nombre "Kuhl's pipistrelle" (que sí que vive en Argelia).
