Giant Golden-Crowned Flying Fox

==Summary==
The giant golden-crowned flying fox (Acerodon jubatus), also known as the golden-capped fruit bat, is a species of mega-bat native to the Philippines, which gets its name from the fur color around its head. They are known to be among the largest bats in the world, with a wingspan of 1.5-1.7 meters.Nowak, R. M., ed. (1999). Walker's Mammals of the World. Vol. 1 (6th ed.). Johns Hopkins University Press. pp. 264–271. ISBN 978-0-8018-5789-8. It is listed as an endangered species, with one of the major causes being hunting by humans for bushmeat, and habitat loss due to deforestation.Mildenstein, T.; Paguntalan, L. (2016).
