Photo Mug : Micronycteris bat
Home Decor from Science Photo Library
Micronycteris bat
Micronycteris, a frugivorous bat from Trinidad (1982). Bats are the only mammals capable of true flight; their fore limbs have developed into wings. The wing membrane is a continuation of the epidermis, it is very elastic and interlaced with fine muscle fibres, nerves, and blood vessels. The senses of smell and taste are well developed in fruit bats such as this one. They are guided by their sense of smell to fruit-bearing trees on their nocturnal flights. These bats also have a variety of scent glands on their bodies which play a role in their social and sexual life; this is indicative of a well developed sense of smell

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the exquisite beauty and unique features of a Micronycteris bat. With its wings spread wide, this frugivorous bat from Trinidad demonstrates the remarkable ability of bats as the only mammals capable of true flight. The intricate wing membrane, an extension of their epidermis, is a marvel in itself. It boasts incredible elasticity and is interlaced with delicate muscle fibers, nerves, and blood vessels. These adaptations enable bats to navigate through the night sky with unparalleled grace and precision. Fruit bats like this one possess highly developed senses of smell and taste. They rely on their acute sense of smell to guide them towards fruit-bearing trees during their nocturnal flights. Additionally, these fascinating creatures boast various scent glands on their bodies that play crucial roles in both social interactions and mating rituals—a testament to their well-developed olfactory abilities. As we admire this stunning image captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded not only of the wonders found in nature but also how intricately interconnected every living being is within our ecosystem.
