Fruit Bat Skeleton Dome

Species Name: Cynopterus brachyotis 

Common Name: Short-nosed fruit bat

Size: 7" diam. Wooden Base x 7" Acrylic Domes

This is a real skeleton of a Short-nosed fruit bat. Just like birds, bat skeletons have light and reduced number of bones compared to the land vertebrate, which allows them to be powerful flyers. Once they find their landing spot they will use their shorter curved thumb to climb or walk on the ground. 

Have you ever wondered why do bats roost upside down? One of the main reasons is to put them in an ideal position for takeoff. Unlike birds, bats can't launch themselves into the air from the ground.
