Why’s it called that?
I guess that no one thought of calling it the steam ravioli bat.
Its face is hairless and is covered by convoluted outgrowths of skin (hence the name wrinkle-faced). These skin flaps are more pronounced in males than females. Males also possess a skin mask that can be used to cover their face.

Excuse me, what the fuck.
Explained here. Think of how you would put your t-shirt up to over your nose to make a mask - they got a skin flap for that.
“I’ve got a skin flap for that” - sounds very Zoidberg-esque.
That’s even weirder tbh :p
Style is subjective, but given that their faces wouldn’t win many beauty pageant - according to human standards - I find them cuter when they hide half of it in their neck flap. Their females seems to think so, too!
The very definition of ugly-cute.
All Bats Are Cute smooch
Well, I wouldn’t pick a fight with it, I’ll say that much. Great share, as always!
