Membras

Overview
Membras, also known as Earsnouts, are a bird-like species in the Mella class, native to Honia. When flying, they can reach 30 mph.

Etymology
Membra comes from English "Membrane", relating to the large patagium. The word "membrane" is derived from Latin membrana, meaning "Skin" or "Tissue"

The alternative name, Earsnout, derives from English "Ear" and English "Snout."

The Binominal Name, Volans Uniped, derives from Latin Volans meaning "Flight", Latin Unus, meaning "One" and Latin Pes, meaning "Foot" or "Leg,"

Morphology
Membras measure at 0.58 Metres and feature a patagium from their ears to their hands, a proboscis, and 1 heavily muscled leg which is used to take off and initiate flight. Underneath the aural structure is a lighter and more stretchy area of the patagium, which is used as a parachute when the Membra wishes to safely land.
