Unlike flapping birds and insects, bats possess membrane wings that are more similar to many gliding mammals. The vast majority of the wing is composed of a thin compliant skin membrane stretched between the limbs, hand, and body.he musculoskeletal system of bat wings affords the potential to adjust membrane deformations in several ways. The boundary of the membrane is set by the articulated wing skeleton, which dictates membrane position and orientation.
Even the noctule is tiny though compared to the world's largest bat, the Kalong (also known as the Javanese flying fox). It lives in south east Asia and feeds on fruit. With a wing span of almost 2 metres, it's the biggest bat in the world! What do bats eat? All bats native to the UK eat insects. Each species has its favourite insects, hunting them in its own special way. Most are caught and eaten in mid-air, though it is sometimes easier to hang up to eat larger prey. All bats have very big appetites because flying uses up lots of energy.
