    What do bats like to eat? Mosquitos.
    Gosh, we need a team of like minded scientist.

    Researchers Find SARS-Like Virus in Bats

    HONG KONG (AP) — Bats carrying a SARS-like virus are unlikely to
    pass it on to humans because they’re too shy, a microbiologist said
    Saturday.
    Yuen’s study showed about half of the 25 proteins found in Chinese
    horseshoe bats are 98 percent the same as those in the SARS virus
    found in humans.
