Golden-capped fruit bat  (Acerodon jubatus)

Echolocation: Detecting objects by reflected sound. Used by bats and odontocete cetaceans (toothed whales, dolphins and porpoises) for orientation and to detect and locate prey.
Endemic: A species or taxonomic group that is only found in one particular country or geographic area.
Primary forest: Forest that has remained undisturbed for a long time and has reached a mature condition.
Secondary forest: Forest that has re-grown after a major disturbance, such as fire or timber harvest, but has not yet reached the mature state of primary forest.
Subspecies: A population usually restricted to a geographical area that differs from other populations of the same species, but not to the extent of being classified as a separate species.
