Wrinkle-faced bat
The wrinkle-faced bat (''Centurio senex'') is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae. It is the only identified member of the genus ''Centurio''. It is found in various countries in and around Central America. It eats fruit but is not classified within the fruit bats. It is classified as a leaf-nosed bat but does not have a leaf nose.〔 It has an unusually shaped skull which is thought to allow the bat to eat a wider range of foods than other bats.
==Description==
''C. senex'' is tail-less, medium sized and generally has a pelage of a drab brown to yellowish-brown colour.〔 They weigh around 17g.〔 Their face is hairless and is covered by convoluted outgrowths of skin (as would be expected from the common name). These skin flaps are more pronounced in males than females and males also possess a skin mask that can be used to cover their face. They have storage pouches in their mouths to allow them to store fruit. ''C. senex'' subsp. ''greenhalli'' differs from the more common ''C. senex'' subsp. ''senex'' by being larger and in having a more domed braincase, better developed sagittal crest, and relatively shorter maxillary toothrow.〔 Their skulls are extremely short and wide, which is thought to allow it to produce bite forces up to 20% higher than other bats of a similar size. It is able to generate the largest biting force, relative to its size of any of the leaf-nosed bats.〔
