Generally, the skin of the wings is highly elastic and incredibly efficient at regenerating. They can heal well, but unfortunately I have also read of cases where something like barbed wire cause extensive damage that necessitated euthanasia.
Wrong, it’s a wing piercing hole from the bat’s rebellious days (that’s why it’s only on the left side, that’s the cool side to get a piercing). Takes a while for those gauge wingrings to heal.
Is that an injury? Or do bat wings have vents?
It’s an injury, sadly, but doesn’t look like it’s negatively affecting her quality of life because of how small it is.
Poor sky-pup. Hope it doesn’t bug her.
I never thought of how injuries to a membrane like that would heal? 🤔
