This picture of a bat is from a bigger picture that also includes ants, a bird, and three butterflies. The bat is shown with its wings spread, showing us the front of its body. There are many types of bat – some are tiny and weigh less than a penny, while others are big and have wings that are 1.8 metres wide from end to end!
This type of picture is called an engraving, and is very easy to copy – so that you have lots of the same drawing!
