Bats make up one of the largest groups of mammals, with more than 1,300
species worldwide. Up close, bat species look quite different from one
another. Some have large ears. Others sport elaborate noses or long
jaws. With so much morphological variety, bats represent an opportunity
to learn what types of evolutionary forces shape the shapes of animals.
