Peru battles rabid vampire bats after 500 people bitten
Vampire bats feed on the blood of mammals while they sleep
Peru's health ministry has sent emergency teams to a remote Amazon region to battle an outbreak of rabies spread by vampire bats.
Four children in the Awajun indigenous tribe died after being bitten by the bloodsucking mammals.
Health workers have given rabies vaccine to more than 500 people who have also been attacked.
Some experts have linked mass vampire bat attacks on people in the Amazon to deforestation.
The rabies outbreak is focused on the community of Urakusa in the north-eastern Peruvian Amazon, close to the border with Ecuador.
The indigenous community appealed for help after being unable to explain the illness that had killed the children.
The health ministry said it had sent three medical teams to treat and vaccinate people who had been bitten.
Most of the affected population had now been vaccinated, it said, although a few had refused treatment.
Vampire bats usually feed on wildlife or livestock, but are sometimes known to turn to humans for food, particularly in areas where their rainforest habitat has been destroyed.
Some local people have suggested this latest outbreak of attacks may be linked to the unusually low temperatures the Peruvian Amazon in recent years. |

Bats are not awesome. They are the Pastor Frank of the animal kingdom - ie: totally unawesome.

Squirrels can not become vampires, as they are not cool, and unhetero. (see slightly's link) |

Ahem, Mr. Vampire, I do recall from science class, that squirrels can fly, but vampires cannot squirrel. |

Hmm - from SOOI's link:
| Quote: |
"Another possibility is that the squirrel was mentally off balance. I don't think this is normal," he adds.
|
We knew that anyway, but it's good that SOOI's finally admitted it himself.

may i point out to the twisted dude, that these squirrels jump from tree to tree. Flying is something totally different, and can only be done by cool and awesome animals. Cougars are cool too, at least they know what they're talking about. |

^^ I made a carefully considered edit so as not to annoy the Vamp. Did you read the first article? Self-preservation took precedent over accuracy.  |

Relax guys, as you can see, only the squirrel got scared of me and is now hiding somewhere.
This thing between vampires and squirrels has been going on since i joined eater. Slowly the vampire's are conquering eater, and soon we'll take over and ban the squirrels.  |
