A bat wing consists of a membrane of skin stretched across extremely elongated fingers. A bird wing is an airfoil made of feathers attached to the forearm and fused bones in the "hand" and "wrist."

Why are bats not birds?

Bats are not birds as they have no feathers, talons, beaks, or any organ specifically related to birds. The bat's wings are also not the same style as bird's wings. Bats seem to have the same structure in their wings as the human hand. And, they do not lay eggs, they give live birth.

Bat and birds both have wings so why are they found on different branches of the tree of life?

Birds' wings feathers and bats' wings do not.Bird wings are supported by a leading bone along the front while bat wings have bone supports across the wing.heres a few things:Bat wings are leathery to the touch, and not made out of feathers like bird's wings.Bat wings are shaped differently, they are for cutting through the air quickly, whilst bird's wings are merely to keep in the air, and when birds want to dive quickly, they have to go up high and bring their wings to their body in a more or less freefall.As well,wing of a bat:-has sheets of skip (patagium) between digits 2 through 5, all of which are elongated- skin between body and hindlimb and tail (uropatagium)wing of a bird:- wing terminates in set of fused bones, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th digits- greatest part of airfoil is made of flight feathers (light and produce wing slots to reduce drag)
