Explanation

Bats are the only mammals capable of true, sustained flight. Archaeopteryx was a dinosaur/bird transitional fossil, not a mammal. 'Ptero' likely refers to pterosaurs (flying reptiles), which were extinct before mammals evolved. Bats have modified forelimbs forming wings that enable powered flight.
