because they can fly. Bats do not have feathers
and bat wings are not like bird wings. In fact, bat
wings are like the human hand. Each wing has an
arm, four long fingers and a short thumb. Thin
skin stretches between the fingers. The thumb
and each finger can move. This helps the bat
change the shape of its wings and change
direction when it flies. Bats can turn, roll and
swoop. It helps them catch insects.
Bats are an interesting mammal with a unique
ability!!
