The claim

Pada tahun 2020, seorang pria di Filipina menemukan kelelawar raksasa bermahkota emas di garasinya. Kelelawar ini, salah satu yang terbesar di dunia, memiliki lebar sayap hingga 5,5 kaki dan hanya memakan buah-buahan. Meskipun ukurannya menakutkan, kelelawar ini tidak berbahaya bagi manusia.

Original review summary

Sultratop.com found that the species exists in the Philippines, but the bat is not human-sized; the comparison refers to its wingspan. The review also says the “golden crown” refers to the species’ name, and notes that it eats fruit as well as leaves.[S1]

Additional context

The review traces the image to a 2020 post and says its uploader clarified that “human-sized” referred to wingspan compared with a person’s height. [S1]
