Bats move their wings by using the large muscles in their backs and chests. Some of these muscles pull the wing up. Others bring them down. The wings act like webbed hands. The bat can move its wings like we move our fingers.
Bats fold one of their wings to steer and brake.
Many bats can hover in one place like hummingbirds and helicopters. Other bats enjoy gliding flight for short periods. These are found in the Americas and Asia, Europe, Africa, and Australia. In this group bats are smaller in size. They listen to echoes to find and hunt for their diet of insects.
