Description
Yo dawg I heard you like bat ears so I put ears on your bat so your bat can ears better!Alt/future/GMO/panspermic pelychiropteran, a poikilothermic pseudo-bat relying on a large dorsally situated "ear"/sail for temperature regulation. These guys would be the dominant predators in their ecological niche, whatever that may be.
So many possible morphological variations for this clade:
Also thinking of the Vacanti Mouse, a possible experimental analog or predecessor if you interpret this guy in future/derived GMO terms:

This reminds me of those dangly things on goats' necks, I read somewhere those are actually incomplete ears.

Oh sweet, I didn't know that! I always assumed they were incomplete scrotums.

Do the ears double as wings? Because if so that would make a great trait for flying low to the ground and listening for insects.

WELL I DON'T KNOW ALEX DO YOUR EARS DOUBLE AS WINGS?? DO YOU USE THEM FOR LISTENING TO INSECTS?? Actually now that I think about it I guess you probably do, and that's perfectly reasonable.
Nah, for right now it's just the One Big Ear* that serves as a sail. But I've got a lot of other variants in mind, so stay tuned!
* Not to be confused with One Big Eye: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnEjD-…

This is pretty tubular but it also would’ve been cool if it only had one ear on its head because the other migrated to its back.

I was playing with some odd and asymmetrical variants when I was first working on this idea a while back, but I can't remember now if that was one of them!
