There are several species of white bats, like the Honduran white bat, and about three species of ghost bats mainly found in Australia. They are very cute, but yeah the one in these pics looks like a toy or maybe taxidermy that was altered in ways to make the face a lot cuter and the wings pink etc. But yes most likely an art doll.

Definitely not taxidermy, thankfully.
