The Giant Golden-Crowned Flying Fox (Acerodon jubatus) is a species of megabat that lives in forests and areas uninhabited by humans in the Philippines. As frugivores, the Giant Golden-Crowned Flying Fox consumes several kinds of figs; they live in riparian zones, as fig trees are located near rivers. Their name is in reference to their fur coloration which is a golden hue that begins between the eyes and terminates to a narrow ”V” shape at the nape of the neck. The face, brows, and throat are black, and the sides of the neck and upper back are maroon.

The Giant Golden-Crowned Flying Fox has a wingspan in the range of 59”-67” (150-170 cm) and total weight of 2.2-2.6 lb (1-1.2 kg). The body of the Giant Golden-Crowned Flying Fox has a body length between 11.4”-15.75” (29-40 cm) and estimated hanging height of 18.5”-21.7” (47-55 cm).
