Species With Immune Systems Stronger Than Any Other Animal

 

Bats

Flying mammals carry deadly viruses like Ebola and rabies without getting sick themselves. Their supercharged metabolism from flight creates high body temperatures that would harm most animals but keeps their immune system constantly alert. Special genes help bats control inflammation, preventing their own defences from causing damage. Scientists study how bats coexist peacefully with dangerous pathogens, hoping to improve human disease resistance and treatment options.
