German scientists have recorded rats hunting bats mid-flight for the first time

Cameras in the Segeberg and Lüneburg caves have captured the rodents leaping to capture prey and storing dozens of carcasses in caches. This discovery creates a new pathway for the transmission of viruses, including coronaviruses and paramyxoviruses, from bats to rats, potentially increasing the risk of infection for humans and pets.

Researchers warn of serious risks to ecosystems and health.
