Album Info:
(DSC08634a) The Giant Golden-crowned Flying-fox is confined to the rainforests of the Philippines, where it occurs mostly at elevations from sea level to 1100 m. They have been found in many different areas of rainforest from sea-level to montane forests. Acerodon jubatus prefer uninhabited areas. A 2005 study found none in inhabited areas. The same study also revealed that these bats use river corridors more than originally thought, because the fig trees located near rivers are the bats' main source of food. Mildenstein also states that they do like to be close to agricultural fields but only in undisturbed forest areas. In another study Stier shows that this species is a forest obligate species, staying in the forest a majority of the time. Since this is a forest obligate species, conservation will require the preservation of forest areas. Human encroachment on the bat's habitat in forest and lowland areas is a major factor in the species endangered conservation status.
