About the Item
These two lithographs focus on the detailed facial studies of various bat species. They come from "De Zoogdieren: afgebeeld en in hunne levenswijze geschetst" (The Mammals: Illustrated and Described in Their Habits) by C.C.A. Last, and were published by S. de Visser. The attention to the bats' unique facial structures, including nose leaves and ear shapes, highlights the critical adaptations that help them navigate, feed, and communicate in their environments.
### First Lithograph (BG-13176-48):
This plate emphasizes bats with intricate nose leaf formations and distinctive facial features, which play essential roles in echolocation and species-specific identification.
1. De brilmuis – Spectacled Bat
A bat with facial features resembling "spectacles" due to its markings and facial structure.
2. De voldsmaatschige longoor – Fold-eared Bat
Known for its unique fold in the ears, aiding in echolocation precision.
3. De bananenmuis – Banana Bat
A species associated with feeding on bananas or tropical fruits, known for its elongated nose.
4. Het lange neusblad – Long-nosed Leaf Bat
This bat has an extended nose leaf, which helps in focusing its echolocation.
5. De Vampyr – Vampire Bat
A well-known bat species that feeds on the blood of other animals, with prominent sharp teeth.
6. Het gelande neusblad – Folded Nose Leaf Bat
This species has a folded leaf-like structure on its nose, which is critical for precise echolocation.
7. De hartneus – Heart-nosed Bat
Characterized by its heart-shaped nose, this bat has an endearing yet functional facial adaptation.
8. Het veerheftblad – Feather-leaf Bat
This bat has a feather-like nose structure, adding to its distinct appearance.
9. Het klauwblad – Claw-leaf Bat
Noted for its claw-shaped nose leaf, giving it a fierce and unique look.
### Second Lithograph (BG-13176-49):
This plate shows another variety of bats, focusing on their diverse nose structures and facial characteristics, which play a critical role in their survival and functionality in the wild.
1. De driebandige neuskam – Three-banded Nose Crest Bat
This species has a prominent three-banded crest on its nose, possibly used in species recognition or sound emission.
2. De groote hoefijzerneus – Greater Horseshoe Bat
Known for its horseshoe-shaped nose leaf, an iconic structure that enhances its echolocation capabilities.
3. De kleine hoefijzerneus – Lesser Horseshoe Bat
A smaller version of the greater horseshoe bat, with similar facial adaptations.
4. De neuskamige van Guatamala – Guatemalan Nose Bat
This bat hails from Guatemala and is distinguished by a unique nose ridge or crest.
5. De dieplipsige – Deep-lipped Bat
This species has pronounced lips, which may aid in its feeding or sound production.
6. De gedradeemde – Lined Bat
Known for its distinct lined facial structure, possibly aiding in sensory detection.
7. De Thebaïdische nachtvlieder – Theban Night-flyer
A nocturnal bat native to the region of Thebes, adapted for night-time hunting.
8. De Egyptische vliegende hond – Egyptian Flying Dog
A large fruit bat species, also known as the Egyptian fruit bat, distinguished by its dog-like face.
9. De Egyptische groefvleiger – Egyptian Groove-winged Bat
This bat is named for the grooves on its wings, adding to its unique aerodynamic capabilities.
These lithographs display the remarkable diversity within bat species, with an emphasis on their highly specialized facial features, which have evolved to support different lifestyles and ecological niches.
