- In West Africa, faced with loss of habitat, Chimps have resorted to eating Bat guano.
- Tests on the poop has revealed the presense of coronoviruses related to Sars-Cov-2 (the technical name for Covid-19)
--
Lab analysis of the bat guano identified a range of viruses, including a betacoronavirus related to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic.
The guano is an alternative source of crucial minerals after the palm trees the mammals once consumed were harvested to extinction locally. The palm was used by people in Budongo to dry tobacco leaves which are then sold to international companies.

Chimps are now eating disease-ridden bat feces as over-farming wipes out food sources in Africa... and experts warn it could start next pandemic
Chimps now eating diseased bat feces due to over-farming in Africa
Chimpanzees in Uganda have been eating virus-filled bat dung ever since their preferred food source was destroyed by tobacco farmers. Scientists fear this could be how the next major pandemic starts.
