Salim Ali’s Fruit Bat is primarily frugivorous. They take ripe fruit on the wing to a night roost to feed on pulp. Fruit is held with one wing’s thumb and index finger. It eats fruits from at least 18 genera in 16 families. Flowers from at least six genera and five families are used.

|

Salim Ali’s Fruit Bats spend the day roosting in wide-mouthed, shallow caves, with all individuals clustered on surfaces of the cave ceiling and in darkest recesses; caves are located near streams. Emergence occurs in small groups beginning at 18:30 h, with peak emergence at 19:00-19:30 h. At night, they roost in rock shelters, caves, and abandoned buildings where groups of 4-12 individuals gather together to feed on fruits carried from trees, arriving after 18:45 h. Salim Ali’s Fruit Bats return to day roosts at ¢.05:30 h. Social vocalizations include calls of 14-35 kHz.

? Population is low and declining; five known day roosts had 25-400 individuals and total population of 800— 850 individuals. Largest single population of 475 individuals appears to be in Agasthyamala Biosphere Reserve. Major threats are disturbance in caves, to which Salim Ali’s Fruit Bat is highly sensitive; tree cutting in coffee estates that reduce forest cover; and local hunting for traditional medicinal use, intended to cure respiratory disorders. Salim Ali’s Fruit Bat is found in protected areas including Megamalai Wildlife Sanctuary, Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, and Kalakkad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve. Salim Ali’s Fruit Bat also occurs in private estates dedicated to tea, coffee, and cardamom production, where it is protected and land is unlikely to be drastically transformed in the short term.
