Description: Did you know that nearly ¼ of all the mammalian species on the planet are bats? Bats are just about everywhere with the exception of the poles, very remote islands and the very highest mountains. The order all bats belong to is called chiroptera and just fits the way they look to me. Some of them look kind of sinister, but the designs of their faces are really just adaptations to their specialized ways of life. Some look a bit like gargoyles and since gargoyles often have wings, it makes me wonder if that’s where the sculptors got their inspiration from. Bats were originally tropical animals only. Of course many have adapted to living in cooler climates, but their original home was a hot and steamy one. In Wyoming a bat fossil was found that was so well preserved that some of the wing membranes could be seen and even the food in its stomach could be identified. (Bugs) From studying the fossil scientists decided that bats were already a force to be reckoned with 54-30 million years ago. When the first bats were flying around, other mammals were also present on the Earth. This lovely gold bat pendant, delicate and shimmering with gold reflections, is a piece that will be treasured by any woman who appreciates this wonderful mammal. Other wonderful mammals can be discovered on my 14k gold wildlife pendants page, like my stunning gold elephant pendant. |
