Bat Facts - closely related to primates

Updated: Dec 21, 2024

Featured facts to educate our friends about the mammals that love Fintry as much as we do!


Bats are not rodents but rather belong to their own group of mammals or “Order” called Chiroptera which means “hand-wing”. The wing of a bat is two layers of skin and the bones look like a human hand with elongated fingers. In fact, bats are far more closely related to primates (such as monkeys and humans) than they are to rodents.
