Greater Spear-Nosed Bat Scientific Illustration Heavyweight Zip Hoodie

Do you like bats? Do you like tiny creatures? Do you like tiny little bats? Then you'll love the Greater Spear-Nosed Bat (Phyllostomus hastatus)! This stunningly detailed vintage illustration shows the bat's full anatomy with a shadow of its shape in life, along with some extra studies around the borders of its skull, joints, and funny little feet. A fun fact about Greater Spear-Nosed Bats that you can't see in this illustration is that they have adorable dumb little faces! Just so silly-looking!

This incredible illustrative etching is by artist Edouard d'Alton, and comes from the 1821 osteological masterpiece Die vergleichende Osteologie. Is that the best collection of scientific illustrations ever published? In our opinion, it's got to be right up there. We're thinking about starting an Edouard d'Alton fan club even though he's been dead for almost 200 years. Don't judge us.

This is the perfect garment for all sorts of nerds: bat nerds, zoology nerds, osteology nerds, anatomy nerds, vintage illustrative etching nerds, you name it! (We're all of those kinds of nerd at once.)

This heavyweight zip-up hoodie is made with a very fancy low-pill, high-density cotton-poly fleece, for outstanding warmth and comfort. The cuffs and waistband are a stretchy spandex-blend and it's possible that ancient incantations were spoken over them during manufacturing, but we truly can't say for sure. It has split-pouch pockets, which is handy for when you need to stuff two deadly snakes into your pockets but they don't get along, and a covered zipper for keeping out the chill, obviously. The hood is jersey-lined and offers great sun protection, not that any of you are vampires, haha, that would be super silly, but also if you have bat minions they could probably hang inside your hoodie like a little cave.
