Researchers, who have only just stumbled upon this species in Yercaud in Tamil Nadu, are stunned by their vocal ranges. Living in a colony of about 400 individuals each, rufous horseshoe bats have principal frequencies above 90 kHz. Next time you visit the Eastern Ghats, keep an ear open for this species.
