Kuhl's pipistrelle

Kuhl's pipistrelle (Pipistrellus kuhlii) is a small, nightly-active bat species found in parts of Europe and North Africa. It has a slender body, typically around 4-5 centimeters long, with brown or reddish-brown fur and a distinctive black face. Kuhl's pipistrelle is insectivorous, catching small insects in flight using echolocation. It prefers warm environments, often roosting in buildings, trees, or caves during the day. This adaptable bat plays a vital role in controlling insect populations and is considered a common and widespread species within its range.
