Bats are mammals, their wings consist of membranes between their fingers and hindlegs. The wing membrane (patagium) is different from the furry skin on their bodies as it does not have hair and is much more elastic. Their finger bones are also more elastic than those
Unlike birds, whose stiff wings deliver bending and torsional stress to the shoulders, bats have a flexible wing membrane that can only resist tension. To achieve flight, a bat exerts force inwards at the points where the membrane meets the skeleton, so that an opposing force balances it on the wing edges perpendicular to the wing surface. This adaptation does not permit bats to reduce their wingspans, unlike birds, which can partly fold their wings in flight, radically reducing the wing span and area for the upstroke and for gliding. Hence bats cannot travel over long distances as ...
