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?”
