Hey, we are bats (蝙蝠)! We are the only flying mammals(哺乳动物) in the world. Many of you are now afraid of us, aren’t you? There is novel coronavirus (新冠) outbreak (爆发) all over the word. Many people say the virus(病毒) comes from us and they think we are the killers! We are not happy about this!
We bat live on the earth for about 50 million years. How about you humans? We have super immunity (免疫力), so we can live with many viruses.
Let us tell you: some of these viruses can easily kill you! Well, it’s true that we are very dangerous. We know this, so we try to keep away from you. We go out only at night when most of you are sleeping. But some of you forget how dangerous we are. You kill our brothers and sisters and eat them. The viruses in the bat meat(肉) can kill these people. How foolish(愚蠢) they are! I hope you will learn a lesson from the coronavirus outbreak. Don’t eat or kill wild animals! Please!
