Wrinkle-Faced Bat

Centurio senex is the binomial name of the wrinkle-faced bat found mostly in Central America and other surrounding countries. They get their name from their hairless faces, which have convoluted skin outgrowths. The skin folds are significantly pronounced in males who also have a skin mask that they can pull over their faces.

These bats feature an unusual skull allowing them to enjoy a diverse range of foods compared to other bats. They are, however, exclusively fruit-eaters, and despite not having leaf-noses, they fall under that classification. The bats also have storage pouches that allow them to stash fruit inside their mouths.
