Serious Ebola outbreak - you guessed it, in the Congo

[ysayell11]

Studies have shown that fruit bats (Pteropodidae) in Africa harbor the virus without exhibiting any symptoms. When these bats come into contact with other animals, such as primates or humans, they can transmit the virus.

The specific bat species that carry Ebola virus include: Rousettus aegyptiacus (Egyptian fruit bat), Epomophorus crypturus (Ghanaian fruit bat), and Miniopterus inflatus (greater long-fingered bat).

That's why my post here contains the quote from Batman (1966).

And to think the Chinese eat these things 🤮🤮🤮
