The Ghost Bat (Macroderma gigas), is a bat in the order "Chiroptera", and they are endemic to Australia. They are named for the fine thin membrane "Patagium" of its wings that makes it seem ghostly at night. Ghost Bats have grey fur covering their backs and pale grey or white fur covering their undersides. They have long, narrow wings no tail, and males average 11 cm in length, while females are slightly smaller. Their ears are large to hear long distances, and they have very sharp teeth to attack prey. The Ghost Bat is the only carnivorous bat in Australia and is also considered by many to be the largest "Microbat" in the world. For more details, please see sites listed below.

What is the locomotive organ of an bat?
The locomotive organ of a bat is its wings. Bats have a unique anatomy that allows them to fly. Their wings are composed of extremely elastic skin stretched between long slender fingers which act like the ribs of an umbrella. The skin is connected to the long fingers at the wrist and elbow and extends all the way to the tips of the fingers. The wings are also supported by a thin membrane known as the patagium that runs along the length of the fingers. The patagium is extremely light and can be controlled by the bat to adjust its flight. The overall structure of the wings allows bats to maneuver quickly and accurately in the air.The wings of a bat are responsible for generating lift and thrust allowing it to fly. To generate lift bats use their wings to create an area of low pressure above the wings. This low pressure causes the air to flow over the wings and move faster creating an upward force known as lift. To generate thrust bats use their wings to move air downward which creates a backward force or thrust. The combination of lift and thrust allows bats to fly.
What are bats wings made of?
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.
