Don't know if you answers asks but, I could use some assistance.

I wanna know what the average megabat's wingspan to body ratio is. Like I'm working on a fictional bat species and I'm not sure how long their wings should be. It has a body length of 2 feet from head to toes. (And please don't answer with "you decide what it should be" I kinda want to stay somewhat rooted in reality)

If you ever get around to answering this, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Great question- I love speculative biology. However I’m probably not the best person to ask as all of my hands on experience working with megabats was in veterinary school. I only really worked with the genus Pteropus (specifically Malayan flying foxes and one spectacled flying fox). For reference here are two of those individuals I did physical exams and other preventative care for. Both animals live at an AZA accredited facility with spectacular care.

Neither of these photos are great wing shots but I think they can at least kind of illustrate the general body shape of megabats. All of my limited experience with bats consists of medical care and husbandry so I’m afraid I can’t get that much more in the weeds on the actual bat stats when it comes to size ratio. As an educated guess I’d say that your 2 foot long bat would likely have a wingspan well over 6 feet. However, for a more reliable source, I did find this excellent paper (Allometry of Bat Wings and Legs and Comparison with Bird Wings) that has an enormous table documenting the body mass and wing ratio of dozens of bat species. Perhaps this will help in your writing?

In the first installment of my Batakin AU, I didn't get as deep into Anakin's early life as I'd like to. However, this little batty, Ms. Zena, is definitely his story.

In the AU, Anakin was very close to Mace, who really could understand Anakin's more batty needs than anyone else since he wasn't concerned about referring to actual flying foxes to find some of the young boy's unmet needs.

I'd have to say that Obi-Wan unofficially shared Anakin with Mace, particularly in the beginning.

Either way, this batty gal? Little young Batakin. Except, unlike Zena, Anakin couldn't fly when he first came.
