Hi, I really love your art, always so so happy to see accurate batties on my dash! Such variety in Chiroptera and so few artists seem to utilize it </3

But, I digress. Would love to see a greater naked bat (Cheiromeles torquatus) if it interests you; you'd probably be the first! They're so friend-shaped

I love these silly guys too :3

Also I couldn't agree more! Most bat art is just nebulously long-eared bats or vaguely vampire bat-ish, but i love them all for their specific charms and my art is all very heavily referenced so they actually look like what they're meant to be!

#I'm using these requests as a chance to get better at drawing bats in general and I still need to get familiar with the anatomy #which is why they are so heavily referenced. I'll get there! #hairless bat #microbat #bat #ask #chiiroptereh

Thought this was someone's character design, turned out it was just an illustration of the hairless bat (Cheiromeles torquatus).

“When we think of bats, we think of how fluffy they are, but sometimes they’re not as fluffy as we think. This week’s #baturday features the greater naked bat (Cheiromeles torquatus). Despite its name, the greater naked bat has short hairs around its neck and head, the first toe and tail membrane. It also has a prominent patch of fur on the throat, which produces a strong-smelling oily secretion (likely to attract mates). The greater naked bat also has the unique adaptation of a thumb claw that is very flexible and can rotate easily, which allows for the species to climb up a tree backwards!”
