Information
Only
in the last fifty years have we learned the true nature
of bats. Their silent, darting flight have made them the
subjects of a great deal of folklore and superstition
through the years. Actually, bats are superbly adapted
creatures that have evolved to exploit resources such
as night-flying insects.
Bats are the only mammals capable of true flight. Their
fore limbs have the same configuration as other mammals',
but the bones of the fingers are greatly elongated to
support membraneous wings. Their hind limbs are modified
to allow them to alight and hang, head-down, by their
toes.
