The chick is a commonly studied model organism for embryonic development, including wing development. Its embryos are easily obtainable and have a relatively long history of use in experimental research. While the flying squirrel also has wings, it is not as commonly studied as the chick and may not provide as much information for a comparative study of bat wing development. Drosophila and butterflies, on the other hand, are not useful models for studying bat embryonic wing development as they do not have wings that are homologous to those of bats. Pterosaurs are extinct, so studying their embryonic wing development is not possible.
