Description This was another mummy cleaning project to make a little skeleton from another awesome species: the vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus). As their name indicate, their food source is blood.
A vampire bat has front teeth that are specialized for cutting skin and the back teeth are much smaller than in other bats. Their hearing is well adapted to detecting the regular breathing sounds of sleeping animals that serve as its main food source. Oh and did you know they can even run, using their forelimbs (wings)?

Sleep well!

Haha, I wouldn't have expected this to be useful for dragon drawings, but I sure am grateful it is!
