Zoology / lobo fino y lobo chusco (marinos) | | Spanish term or phrase: lobo fino y lobo chusco (marinos) | Buenos días,
¿Cuál es la traducción de lobo fino y lobo chusco al inglés? Se trata de lobos marinos. Muchas gracias:
“También se pueden apreciar pingüinos peruanos (en peligro de extinción). Igualmente, las Islas X se constituyen en el refugio de dos variedades de lobos marinos (lobos finos y lobos chuscos) y otros mamíferos.”
