全球最致命病毒的源頭，有沒有可能同時隱藏著健康長壽的秘密？蝙蝠一向惡名昭彰，被視為好幾種致命疾病大爆發的潛在源頭，包括伊波拉、中東呼吸綜合症、非典型肺炎，與及最近期引發2019新冠病毒全球疫情的SARS-CoV-2。然而，科學家卻發現新證據，顯示蝙蝠是生物學瑰寶，可能掌握了長壽的關鍵。這種空中哺乳類動物不僅是飛行速度最快的紀錄保持者，更對身上的病毒自帶抗病性；體型雖迷你，壽命卻出奇地長。蝙蝠的秘密究竟是甚麼？牠們獨有的飛行技術，又會否跟其超強免疫力有關聯？從牠們奇特的生物學上，我們還能學到甚麼？本集從泰國、德州山洞到佈滿蝙蝠的法國鐘樓，以至世界各地的實驗室，訪問多位致力拆解蝙蝠超能力的科學家。

Could the source of the world’s deadliest viruses hold the secret to a healthier and longer life? Bats have a sinister reputation as potential sources for some of the deadliest disease outbreaks: Ebola, MERS, SARS, and most recently, SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind the COVID-19 global pandemic. Yet scientists are discovering new evidence that bats are biological marvels and may hold a key to longevity. Not only are these airborne mammals the fastest recorded flyers in the sky, they’re resistant to the diseases they carry and have freakishly long lifespans for their tiny size. So, what’s their secret? Could bats’ unique flying abilities be tied to their super-charged immunity? And what else can we learn from their peculiar biology? From caves in Thailand and Texas, to an infested bell tower in France, to labs around the globe, NOVA meets the scientists who are decoding the superpowers of the bat.
