Wing of a desert red bat (Lasiurus blossevillii) In bats, the skin forming the surface of the wing is an extension of the skin of the abdomen that runs to the tip of each digit, uniting the forelimb with the body. The patagium of a bat has four distinct parts: Propatagium: the patagium present from the neck to the first digit.
The Bats Wings ident, the first BBC ident. The ident they called the "Bat's Wings" was introduced on 2 December 1953. A new media needed a new way to brand itself, and this was it.

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.
They range in size from the Shortridge's long-fingered bat, at 3 cm (1 in) plus a 3 cm (1 in) tail, to the great bent-winged bat, at 8 cm (3 in) plus a 7 cm (3 in) tail. Like all bats, miniopterids are capable of true and sustained flight , and have forearm lengths ranging from 3 cm (1 in) for many species to 6 cm (2 in) in the western bent ...
Recently, there have been comparative studies of mouse and bat forelimb development to understand the genetic basis of morphological evolution. Consequently, the bat wing is a valuable evo-devo model for studying the evolution of vertebrate limb diversity. Diagram showing homologous skeletal structures of bat and mouse
