Cropped image from a book, showing a colour illustration of a bat climbing onto a raised patch of grass. The bat is shown from behind, so the wings are visible, but its head is turned to one side and it seems to be keeping one eye on you. The bat has black wings and brown fur, with a ring of yellow fur around its neck.
Good morning to everyone, but especially to all the bats, as today is their special day!
This illustration of a lesser ternat bat is from 'Animated Nature' (1828) by Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon.
