Some of them because they live in the upper tiers of rainforests and feed on wild fruit, but the upper tiers of rainforests are getting the biggest impact of the heat increase and increase of heat radiation. add to that that humans are encroaching into the forests. bats are shy reaches. they too not seek them out. we see more and more bat populations starving and coming into human habitation areas to feed on our agricultural production. in the process, they re passing their virus on to other animals and to humans. we are imposing changes in the microbial world willy-nilly, thoughtlessly and we do so at our peril.
