Bat is a flying mammal.
Direct energy use in agriculture is primarily petroleum-based fuels to operate cars, pickups, and trucks as well as machinery for preparing fields, planting and harvestinDid you know that there is only one mammal in the world that can fly? Many people think that flying squirrels, flying possums and colugos (flying lemurs, which actually aren't even lemurs) can fly. But, the can't. They can only glide for limited distances. The only mammal that is actually capable of powered flight is the bat.
All bats belong to the order Chiroptera. The word Chiroptera comes from the Greek words cheir meaning "hand" and pteron, which means "wing" because the structure of the open wing is very similar to an outspread human hand. But, the bones of the arm and four of the fingers are light, slender and lengthened as an adaptation for flight. They are used to support, spread and manipulate the membrane. The only digit not attached to the wing is the thumb. It remains free for clinging to various surfaces. The knees on the hind limbs bend backward, but the feet face forward.
Bats Wings
The bat's wing is an extension of the skin of the abdomen that runs to the tip of each digit, uniting the forelimb with the body. It is two tightly stretched layers of skin membranes connected together by connective tissue without any flesh between the layers. This is why a bat's wings are translucent, which means you can see through them. This formation of skin membranes is called the patagium. Bat wings usually run from the shoulder region to the ankle, or in some cases, to the toes themselves. The wing membrane joins the body along the sides, except in a few cases in which it arises near the middle of the back. When the wing is not extended the membrane folds up along countless creases more efficiently than an umbrella. crops, applying chemicals, and transporting inputs and outputs to and from market.1 Natural gas, liquid propane,
