How does this structural adaptation help the animal survive?
The forelimbs of birds are adapted to fly. So they are converted into wings. So there is serious loss of forelimb functions. But then you have to pay the price for everything you get in return. The bones of birds are hollow to large extent and they have air spaces in there body to make it light. So they can fly. The bat is a mammal and do have forelimbs. Here the skin is used as wings. But then again the functions of the forelimbs are adversely affected.
