A bat wing, which is a highly modified forelimb. Bats are the only mammal capable of true flight. Bats use flight for capturing prey, breeding, avoiding predators, and long-distance migration. Bat wing morphology is often highly specialized to the needs of the species. This image is displaying the anatomical makeup of a specific bat wing.
Formation of the bat wing membrane (the patagium) allowed a greater surface area of the wing necessary for flight.All vertebrate limb formation initially has tissue between the digits after which apoptosis occurs to separate the digits.
This crucial genetic alteration helps create the specialized limbs required for powered flight. The relative proportion of extant bat forelimb digits compared with those of Eocene fossil bats have no significant differences, suggesting that bat wing morphology has been conserved for over fifty million years.

There was an analogous period of flight experimentation among dinosaurs before small feathered ones evolved into the first birds about 150 million years ago. Bat-winged dinosaur was intriguing ...
The Batplane, Batwing, Batjet or Batgyro is the fictional aircraft for the DC Comics superhero Batman. [1] The vehicle was introduced in "Batman Versus The Vampire, I", published in Detective Comics #31 in 1939, a story which saw Batman travel to continental Europe .
A shocking video that allegedly shows a bat flying around a Spirit Airlines plane midflight has gone viral.
Patagia on a flying squirrel. The patagium (pl.: patagia) is a membranous body part that assists an animal in obtaining lift when gliding or flying.The structure is found in extant and extinct groups of flying and gliding animals including bats, theropod dinosaurs (including birds and some dromaeosaurs), pterosaurs, gliding mammals, some flying lizards, and flying frogs.
Passengers aboard a Spirit Airlines flight can be heard screaming and laughing at an apparent bat flying around the cabin of the plane.
