Bats (order Chiroptera) comprise 20% of all mammal species with 1200 known types of bat. With their forelimbs adapted as wings, they are the only mammals naturally capable of true and sustained flight. Bats are more manoeuvrable than birds. #bat #bats #mammal #mammals #wildlife #nature #chiroptera 🦇
