Description On 2 December 2010, an adult female Kuhl’s pipistrelle (Pipistrellus kuhlii) was caught in the village of Dobšice, a southeastern suburb of the Znojmo town. The finding supports the hypothesis of the species’ hibernation in the urban area. On 18 May 2012, another adult female was mist-netted above a small pond surrounded by reeds and shrubs in an abandoned quarry located at the northeastern edge of the Brno city. On 5 June 2012, the female gave birth to male twins after three weeks in captivity. This is the third record of P. kuhlii in the Czech Republic but the first one indicating reproduction of this species in the country.
