L'Inde est connue pour la diversité de sa faune et abrite plus de 100 espèces de chauves-souris, petites et grandes. La plus grande est le renard volant indien et la plus rare est la chauve-souris frugivore de Salim Ali. En 1948, le naturaliste Angus Hutton a recueilli cette espèce dans les hautes montagnes ondulées des Ghats occidentaux, dans l'État du Tamil Nadu. Mais elle a été identifiée à tort comme la chauve-souris frugivore à nez court. En 1972, le taxonomiste Kitti Thonglongya a réexaminé le spécimen et l'a déclaré nouvelle espèce. Elle a été nommée en l'honneur du célèbre ornithologue Salim Ali. Cette espèce menacée a une distribution restreinte et est entrée dans le livre Guinness des records en 1993 comme l'une des trois chauves-souris les plus rares au monde. L'auteur est l'un des rares biologistes à avoir vu, étudié, capturé et relâché la chauve-souris frugivore de Salim Ali dans la nature. Ce livre fournit des données de terrain rares sur l'état de la population, l'écologie, le comportement et la conservation des chauves-souris frugivores dans l'État indien du Tamil Nadu, y compris la chauve-souris frugivore de Salim Ali, une espèce très menacée.
