Habitat:
Occurs in dense tropical forest and secondary woodland between 300 and 1,600 m, up to 2,000 m at some locations (Konig and Weick 2008). Breeding is thought likely to take place in tree holes or in uprooted trees, family groups of two adults and a single immature have been observed roosting in an upturned decaying tree's roots (Konig and Weick 2008). Does also apparently occur on the outskirts of built-up areas, even suburbia (D. Allen in litt. 2013).

Range:
O. megalotis is found on Luzon, Marinduque and Catanduanes in the Philippines, where it is presumed to be 'locally not rare' (Konig and Weick 2008, D. Allen in litt. 2013).
