（单词翻译）

 But they can't migrate to greener pastures until the last of the youngsters has been winged. So mother has become stingy and edgy1. 

 
Readying for the migration2 ahead, she tongues oily secretions3 over every bit of her flight equipment. A bat's wings are essentially4 enormous webbed hands. Elongated5 finger bones providing the struts6 to unfold and manipulate the flight membranes7. 
 
As dusk settles, the migration begins. For little bats, wings spreading three feet tip to tip,blacken the skies with their departure.
 
Tonight, they have to travel many miles with their newly winged young. And inexperience on the wing will prove deadly.  
 
Parenting is risky8 business. Migrants around the world will risk everything for the next generation. But before you can breed, you must earn the right. And in Africa, one species readies for battle
