“Gravity”. Bats are a much maligned creature these days. They are responsible for the spread of emerging diseases such as Ebola, Hendra virus and Lyssavirus all of which are extremely deadly to humans. Scientists site the human encroachment into their habitat which allows for greater interaction between humans, domestic animals and the bats as a possible reason for the increase in infections. Photo location: Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. (Photo and caption by Karen Lunney/National Geographic Photo Contest)
