Just another manifestion of the same phenomenon. Satan's wings were often depicted as a bat's wings; the other angels' wings as lovely, fluffy, feathered birds' wings.

Mantled by my own husband.

What I'd like to know, before finding out who the a) perp is: what other kind of spine is there besides dorsal?
