Kevin Rodriguez+FollowScientists Nearly Wiped Out Chimps?!Turns out, the biggest threat to wild chimps isn’t poachers—it’s the scientists trying to save them! Researchers accidentally spread a human cold virus that killed 25 chimps, but once they started masking up, sanitizing, and quarantining, chimp illnesses dropped by 95%. Even if you feel fine, you can still pass deadly bugs to wildlife. Now, there’s proof that simple COVID-style protocols could be a game-changer for endangered animals everywhere. Wild, right? #WildlifeConservation #Chimpanzees #ScienceNews #Health #BodyHealth30Share
xwest+FollowWild Chimps Are Catching Our Colds?!Did you know humans are passing viruses to wild chimpanzees—and it’s actually deadly for them? At a research site in Uganda, a human virus wiped out 25 chimps in one outbreak. But here’s the wild part: simple stuff like masks, distancing, and quarantines (yep, the same pandemic rules we all know) are actually saving chimps’ lives! Scientists saw coughs and infections drop big time after enforcing these rules. Proof that protecting animals can be as easy as protecting ourselves! #WildlifeProtection #Chimpanzees #Conservation #Health80Share
