i wonder how they see each other. like we see a very wrinkly looking almost smashed face.
but what if more wrinkles makes them more attractive to potential mates? is there a girl bat out there that's fanning herself right now trying to get his batnumber?
whoaaaa that is amazing! =O I was wondering why the skin seemed kind of light. i wonder if they wear those little skin masks most of the time and remove them for eating and stuff.

Pretty sure that's just a normal bat with Star Trek alien makeup.

Kinda!
Adult Centurio senex males possess little flaps of skin under their chins that they pull up to cover the lower half of their faces like a mask.
While hanging, they emit a mix of ultrasonic echolocation calls and loud, low-frequency whistles that drop into the range of human hearing.
When a female approaches, the male drops his mask and rapidly beats his wings while vocalizing.
It’s called a “lek” courtship. It’s when a group of males gather to perform for females.
So I guess you could say that they attract with their calls and their faces.
This is without and with the mask:
