The Indian roundleaf bat (Hipposideros lankadiva), also known as the large Ceylon leaf-nosed bat or Kelaart's leaf-nosed bat, is accidentally entering the house and hanging face down from the ceiling in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on June 20, 2025. Bats are often feared because they are believed to carry diseases like COVID-19, SARS, MERS, and Ebola, which are zoonotic or emerging infectious diseases.
