The Wrinkle-faced Bat, Centurio senex, is listed as ‘Least Concern’ on the IUCN Red List of Threatened SpeciesTM. This striking-looking bat inhabits moist and dry tropical forests of Latin America, from Mexico to Colombia and Venezuela. It is considered to be an uncommon species throughout its range, although occasionally it can be locally abundant under certain conditions.
Wrinkle-faced bats are among the dozens of species found near Volcano Masaya in Nicaragua, where bat biologists working with Paso Pacífico are surveying bat guano to establish bat populations.
