Taro
The bat prefers limestone caves in the forest. The forest habitats, consist of naturally open and shrubby native vegetation such as: batino ("Alstonia macrophylla"), hindunganon ("Macaranga" sp.), tubug ("Ficus septica"), and matamban ("Mallotus" sp.), which grow on steep slopes. For food, the bat also utilizes the surrounding agricultural clearings that are planted with abacá ("Musa textiles"), gabi ("Colocasia esculenta"), and coconuts ("Cocos nucifera"). Only about 60 ha. remain of forested land for this species, all of which is outside of the protected Central Cebu National Park.
