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
Bat wings are composed largely of a thin membrane of skin supported on the five fingers, whereas bird wings are composed largely of feathers supported on much reduced fingers, with finger 2 supporting the alula and finger 4 the primary feathers of the wing; there are only distant homologies between birds and bats, with much closer homologies ...
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.

Hundun - A Creature with the body of a pig, the legs of a lion or bear and four wings of a bird, with no head. Kappa - A Japanese humanoid creature with the legs of a frog and the head and shell of a turtle.
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.
Neith, an Egyptian goddess sometimes depicted with bird wings attached to her arms. [25] [26] Nemesis was described as winged by Mesomedes, [27] and is often portrayed as such in art. Nightingale the Robber in Slavic folklore, who is killed by the hero Ilya Muromets. [28] Nike in Greek mythology is described as having birdlike wings. [29]
The child, though born normally. immediately grew wings, tail, and claws and flew out to the Pine Barrens. [9] According to some the child transformed into a creature with hooves, a goat's head, bat wings, and a forked tail. Growling and screaming, the child beat everyone with its tail before flying up the chimney and heading into the pines.
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. It was a model made of piano wire, brass and flashing lights, created by Abram Games. It featured a spinning globe in the centre and two spinning eyes, each going in ...
