The Golden-crowned flying fox(acerodon jubatus) locally known as "kabog", is the largest bat in the world by weight. It is endemic to the Philippines can be found almost throughout the country.
This species of flying fox has a wing span that can reach one meter. Hanging upside down from a tree. It wraps its dark leathery wings around its body. Leaving exposed the small face that resembles a fox's.
Aside from the unmistakable golden fur that sorrounds its head,the flying fox is distinguished by its pointy ears. The bat's role in forest regeneration via seed dispersal and pollination makes them keystone species upon which survival of the forest ecosystem depends. Even its dropping called "guano",keep the forest soil rich and fertilized.
Like other megabats this species is non-aggressive towards humans. It is a frugivorus or fruit eater, despite its wide distrbution range in the country, the species is critically endangered because of poaching and forest destruction.
