The only mammals with wings are bats. Bats are the second largest order of mammals (after rodents) and they are the only mammals capable of sustained flight. While bats are not the only mammals that can glide through the air (such as flying squirrels), they are the only ones that have adapted wings to fly. Bats have a unique structure in their wings that allows them to maneuver and fly with great speed and agility, making them highly effective hunters of insects and other prey. 

There are over 1,400 species of bats worldwide, and they play important roles in pollination, seed dispersal, and insect control in many ecosystems.

The only mammals with wings are bats. Bats are the only mammals capable of powered flight, as they have wings made of skin stretched between their fingers. They use these wings to fly and navigate in the dark.

The only mammals with wings are bats. They belong to the order Chiroptera, which means "hand-wing." Bats are noted for their extraordinary ability to fly, navigate in complete darkness, and use echolocation to locate prey. They have a thin membrane of skin, known as the patagium, which stretches between their elongated fingers, forming a wing. Bats come in various sizes, and some can soar up to 10,000 feet high. They play an essential role in pollination, pest control, and dispersal of seeds.
