The wing of bat is n niost wonder
full instance Of adaptation to a special
end, for it is nothing but greatly
modified forelimb or hand.
If you spread out your hand and i'm
agine the four fingers grown enormous
~ long, while the thumb remains short
and stumpy and that the skin between
the fingers has also been stretched I'M
til 1t extends from tip to tip of the
fingers and on along the side of the
body to join the hind foot, you will
have q good idea Of the structure Of q
bats wing; 1t Is simply q much exag.
gerated hand.
The elongated bones serve. like the
RIBS OF an umbrella, to keep the skin
stretched a1d taut when the owner
Is In flight.
When the bat alights it doubles up
Its hands," the skin falls in wrinkly
folds and using Its thumb joints as
torefeet 1t is able to run about almost
as quickly as a mouse
The skin OF the wings not only joins
the hind limbs but extends from them
to the toll, thus making the rudder
with which the bat can steer when fly
ing, and, when the tail Is brought up
beneath the body. forms bag or re-
ceptable which Is Of use to its owner.
