Chandigarh, January 24
A revolting video of a Chinese woman eating a whole bat a fancy restaurant has surfaced online, as the country battles with a deadly new virus—Coronavirus—which is believed to have come from animals.
The bats were served in the Chinese city of Wuhan—the ground zero for the deadly Coronavirus.
It’s believed by experts that bats are be carriers of the virus and were reportedly sold at Wuhan’s Huanan seafood market, reports Business Insider.
The video shows the woman holding the large bat with chopsticks before she begins to nibble at the wing as a man looks on and encourages her.
“Eat the meat! [Don’t] eat the skin,” he says, adding: “[You] should eat the meat on its back.”
The graphic footage was first posted Wednesday by Hong Kong-based news service Apple Daily before circulating on Twitter.

Another gross Twitter video, which popular Chinese blogger Chen Qiushi shared Wednesday with his 84,000 Twitter followers, depicts Cantonese-speaking diners about to chow down on a bat bouillabaisse at an upscale eatery.
The Mandarin caption reads: “[After] experiencing this matter, can Chinese people give up eating wildlife?”
这东西长得像不像死神躺在你碗里？之前看纪录片，蝙蝠生活在山洞里，就地排泄，山洞里积了厚厚一层粪便，粪便里生活着各种恶心的虫子…经历这次事件能让中国人彻底放弃吃野味吗？ pic.twitter.com/6mNQmBWCpi
