Once our inventory is depleted we will no longer carry bats. There isn’t a clear ethical way to source bats and when we purchased our stock from a retired oddities seller we were not made completely aware of the unethical sourcing despite people who sell bats stating that it was from bat farms or under the guise of pest control when that is not always truly the case. We want to preserve items to celebrate the life of an animal, not destroy them for the sake of art. Due to this we will NOT be buying any more bats in the future once our stock is finished. We do encourage Schools and Educators to contact us if they would like to purchase for Educational purposes, we will be happy to discount any specimens being used for educational purposes.
z26a #9 This real large Bat is nicely displayed in a brown papier-mâché coffin with preserved flowers along with 3 pieces of garlic to keep him in place! He is laying on a fiber fill stuffing and there is also a bat embellishment on the front of the coffin! Most of the items in the coffin are not glued down so you can place them as you wish. This is a very nice gift for those so inclined or a wonderful addition to your collection! This display is approx. 8 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2" with the coffin closed.
Species:
Hipposideros diadema is named for its complex anterior nose leaf, which is horseshoe-shaped and located on the slightly inflated nasal region. The diadem leaf-nosed bat or diadem roundleaf bat is one of the most widespread species of bat in the family Hipposideridae. It is probably most closely related to Hipposideros demissus from Makira and to Hipposideros inornatus from the Northern Territory in Australia.
NOTE: If your item is in a glass dome please be aware that the domes are NOT permanently connected to the base. Care has to be taken when opening or removing the dome so not to damage the display or specimen.
