What's the difference between bat and chiropteran?
Bat

(v. i.) To use a bat, as in a game of baseball.
(n.) One of the Cheiroptera, an order of flying mammals, in which the wings are formed by a membrane stretched between the elongated fingers, legs, and tail. The common bats are small and insectivorous. See Cheiroptera and Vampire.

Definition:
Example Sentences:
