Greater Spear-Nosed Bat Scientific Illustration Men's V-Neck

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 tee is made with 100% combed ringspun cotton (except for the heather grey, which containers 10% polyester). What does that mean, exactly? That's t-shirt people speak for "it's comfy." It's pre-laundered by the manufacturer to ensure a great fit without shrinkage, and it has a tear-away label because nobody likes a scratchy collar tag.
