SUBIC BAY'S FLYING FOXES
This camp of over 10,000 fruit bats, readily seen at the Subic Bay Freeport, is one of the last large bat
colonies of its kind. Found only in the Philippines, the Golden Crowned Flying Fox (Acerodon jubatus)
and the Philippine Giant Fruit Bat (Pteropus vampyrus lanensis) are the largest bats in the world, with
wingspans up to 2 meters. Bats such as these eat only plants and are critically important to the health
of tropical forests in the Philippines.
By dispersing the seeds of forest fruits and spreading pollen between the forest flowers they visit, fruit
bats maintain and restore forests by aiding in the reproduction of forest plants. Many fruit crops
important to people, such as durian, wild banana, and kapok, also rely on fruit bats for their
reproduction. Their cute, puppy-like faces add to their appeal. Despite this, fruit bats are heavily
hunted, and the loss of their forest homes has made many of these bats endangered with extinction.
SUBIC BAY'S BAMBOO BATS
The bamboo bat, Tylonycteris sp., is the smallest bat found in the Philippines. With a total wingspan
smaller than a child's hand length and weighing only about 2 grams, it is just slightly larger than the
world's smallest bat. Both of the world's two species of bamboo bats are found in the Philippines, and
Subic Bay with its large bamboo forests is an important host to these bats.
They have flat skulls that allow them to easily enter the bamboo holes originally created by
chrysomelid beetles. Their suction cup feet make it easy to hang upside-down on the smooth inside of
the bamboo. Bamboo bats typically give birth to twins and roost in harems, meaning one mating male
with many mating females and all their offspring.
Sometimes as many as 40 little bamboo bats may be found roosting together in a single bamboo
chamber. These bats emerge from their bamboo hide-away at dusk to feed on insects, especially
termite swarms, and by dawn have already returned to their home. So, bamboo bats are best seen in
the sky when the sun is setting. (Source WWF Subic)

SUBIC OCEAN ADVENTURE
The Ocean Adventure in Subic Bay is said to be South East Asia's only open water marine park. Now
what does that mean? Well basically, the Ocean Adventure Park does not contain land based pools to
house their aquatic animals, instead they have created pens or floating habitats, in Subic Bay itself,
hence it is in the open water. The first and most astounding nautical sanctuary in the country that
showcases some of the world's most amazing sea mammals like dolphins, false killer whales and sea
lions in their inherent habitat. Dive with them. Frolic with the whales!

teach conservation to all who come. It was interesting to discover what materials the marine park used:
