Any member of the order Chiroptera; a bat or bat-like creature.
From 'Chiroptera' plus the suffix '-an' (one belonging to a group). This term converts the scientific order name into a common noun for individual members.
A 'chiropteran' sounds exotic and scientific, but it just means 'one of those hand-wing creatures'—scientists love Latin and Greek names because they make common animals sound mysterious and important!
