The wing structure of bats and birds differs. Birds have feathers projecting back from lightweight, fused arm and hand bones. Bats have flexible, relatively short wings with membranes stretched between elongated fingers.
Spedding said while birds can open their feathers like a Venetian blind, bats have developed a twisting wing path that increases the lift during the upstroke.
There are about 1,000 species of bats, accounting for about 20 percent of mammal species. Most catch insects.
