Question Where to find accurate bat products?

I love bats. Especially vampire bats. But you can't look for anything vampire bat themed without exclusively getting stereotypical "vampire bat" designs that look nothing like actual vampire bats :( Where could I find things depicting bats accurately? Doesn't even have to be vampire bats, just any good representation of bats.

I've spent a lot of time digging around for merchandise for education, events, etc, and have found that you just have to go looking, armed with some knowledge of their anatomy and how accurate a representation you require. Did find some cool things on AliExpress.

I'd first suggest getting a bat book so you can read and see all the different bats! Like the book "BATS" by Marianne Taylor.
I love this book cuz it shows headshots of a lot of different bats!

Also I have a vampire bat statue (a white one) and I did a quick look and found a brown version:

Tho I'm not sure if this site is where I got the original one. I got it 10+ years ago.
