It is hard to guess what a Wrinkle-faced bat weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Wrinkle-faced bat (Centurio senex) on average weights 23 grams (0.05 lbs).
The Wrinkle-faced bat is from the family Phyllostomidae (genus: Centurio). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 40.4 cm (1′ 4″).
As a reference: An average human weights in at 62 kg (137 lbs) and reaches an average size of 1.65m (5′ 5″). Humans spend 280 days (40 weeks) in the womb of their mother and reach around 75 years of age.
The wrinkle-faced bat (Centurio senex) is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae and the only identified member of the genus Centurio. These bats are found in various countries in and around Central America. They eat fruit but are not classified within the fruit bats. They are classified as a leaf-nosed bat but do not have a leaf nose. They have an unusually shaped skull which is thought to allow them to eat a wider range of foods than other bats.
