Twitter. The wings of bats are their most distinctive -- and perhaps most remarkable -- feature. They give the order Chiroptera its name (literally, hand-wing), and functional wings and true flight are characteristics of all bats.The origin of bat wings is most clearly revealed by their skeleton.Every element of that skeleton is clearly homologous with structures in the forelimbs of other mammals, and there is no question that bat wings evolved as a result of modifications to the forelimbs of their ancestors.he wing membrane is an extension of the skin of the body. It is made up of external epidermis and an internal layer of dermis, which contains blood vessels (easily seen in a live bat when the wing is stretched in front of a light) and muscles. These muscles control the curvature of the wing in flight.
