New evidence proves that COVID is linked to the Raccoon Dog, probably from the Wuhan wet market in China.

The raccoon dog, also known as the Mangut or Tanuki, is a small mammal native to China and other areas of East Asia. Despite its name, it is not closely related to the raccoon, but is rather a member of the canid family, which includes dogs, wolves, and foxes.

Some mistakenly spell the name as "Racoon" Dog. @crittercamera ​
