We don't know which animal it came from yet so we don't know how their immune systems have responded.
The source of H1N1 from ten years ago still hasn't been established so we might be waiting a long time before we know for sure where this came from.
The only reason we know it came from an animal is because its an animal based group of viruses and humans are animals.
EDIT: From what I have read, the only reason people are suspecting bats for this virus is because people are starting to suspect (but not yet proven) that bats were behind the last SARS epidemic in 2002. In short, nobody knows.
