Depending on the bat species the presence of hair follicles and sweat glands will vary in the patagium. [64] This patagium is an extremely thin double layer of epidermis; these layers are separated by a connective tissue center, rich with collagen and elastic fibers. In some bat species sweat glands will be present in between this connective ...
