Hanging Bat in Dome - Eonycteris spelaea / Hipposideros larvatus

THE SCIENCE

This dome contains a small bat (either a cave nectar bat - Eonycteris spelaea - or an intermediate roundleaf bat - Hipposideros larvatus) from Indonesia. It has been mounted on a branch and secured inside a glass dome.

THE STORY

Bats are incredibly diverse, with more than 1,100 species - from the tiny bumblebee bat to giant flying foxes with six-foot wingspans. The forelimbs of a bat are webbed and developed as wings, making them the only mammals capable of sustained flight! Each specimen has been hand-selected by our buying team to ensure your bat is of the highest quality.

Individual specimens vary but your item will resemble the pictured example.
