Golden-capped fruit bat  (Acerodon jubatus)

The golden-capped fruit bat is endemic to the Philippines. Two subspecies are recognised: Acerodon jubatus jubatus occurs on Basilan, Biliran, Cebu, Dinagat, Leyte, Luzon, Mindoro, Negros, Panay, Samar, and the Sulu Archipelago, while A. j. mindanensis is found just on the island of Mindanao (5). However, deforestation and hunting may have caused this species' extinction on some of the islands, such as Cebu (5).

The golden-capped fruit bat inhabits forest, from sea level up to elevations of 1,100 metres. It is only known to occur in large areas of forest, and shows a preference for primary or mature secondary forest (5).
