Unique trait facilitates flight
The only mammals that can fly are bats. No matter the species, all bats flap their wings to become airborne. Because of this unique trait, bats are classified in the order Chiroptera, which means “hand-wing” and refers to how their finger bones support their wings. A bat’s wings are thin membranes, or patagium, of skin stretching between the front legs’ fingers and extending to the hind legs and tail.
