EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the 19th century showcases the beauty and diversity of bat species. In this print, we see four distinct bats: the Javan slit-faced bat, Nycteris javanica; the greater bulldog bat, Noctilio leporinus; the proboscis bat, Rhynchonycteris naso; and the hair-legged vampire bat, Diphylla ecaudata. Each bat is depicted with intricate detail and precision by artist Karl Joseph Brodtmann. The engraving adds a touch of elegance to these fascinating creatures. This artwork was originally featured in Heinrich Rudolf Schinz's Illustrated Natural History of Men and Animals in 1836. The Javan slit-faced bat is classified as vulnerable due to habitat loss and hunting pressures. Its unique facial structure sets it apart from other bats. The greater bulldog bat possesses a powerful jaw that allows it to catch fish on its night flights over water bodies. The head of the proboscis bat is showcased separately, highlighting its distinctive elongated nose used for feeding on nectar-rich flowers. Lastly, we have a glimpse of the head of a hair-legged vampire bat known for its specialized diet consisting mainly of blood. This lithograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an educational tool about these remarkable creatures. It reminds us of nature's incredible diversity and encourages us to appreciate even those animals that may be misunderstood or overlooked.
