Bat wings are not merely skin and bone. They are much more complex than they first appear at a quick glance.
First and foremost they do consist of bone which is strong somewhat willowy, giving them both the ability to hang on to object such as trees and their mother as well a be air born. Bat wings range in size but most bat species have what most commoners might call a thumb or a single sharp hook attached to their wings along the arm that allow further agility. The arm extends out into a long forearm then slightly knobby looking elbow, before branching out into the full length of the wing span.
The strong rubbery material also known at the bat membrane is called patagium. This material is flexible but durable and is what allows bats to glide easily through the air.
