Vampire Bat Knows Social Distancing
Researchers found an interesting fact about
vampire bats. As we all know the trending buzz word of social distancing, these
bats have known it since longer than us. These bats spend very less time with
other species of their kind when they feel sick. Which creates a healthy
environment for the others to survive. This sickness induced social distancing
does not require cooperation from others & is very common across these
species. Researchers did this experiment on approx 31 vampire bats & could
draw out this outcome when a small set of bats were sick. This study was
published in the reputed journal Behavioral Ecology.
