The Evolution of Bats

The Evolution of bats is a mystery because for the first 10 million years or so after the dinosaurs went extinct there are no bats and then all of sudden bat fossils can be discovered all over the world. However, just because their evolution is poorly does not mean that it is completely in the dark. This video pieces together the bits that are known and explains why there is a bat explosion in the fossil record.
