Wrinkle-faced Bat (Centurio senex): 70mm (2.7in). This might look alarming, but fear not, this species of bat is a frugivore, meaning fruit is on the menu… not blood. Found in Central and South America, this bat prefers to suck the juices from overripe fruits like mangos and soft bananas. Scientists think that the deep folds or “wrinkles” on this bat’s face help channel extra juice to its mouth while it feeds. Males, who typically have more folds than females, also have scent glands in their “wrinkles.” Amazing photo taken by Jason Headley in Belize.
