Interested in the connection between animals and the coronavirus?
PBS Nature has a series of videos about different animals. https://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/
The most recent video is about the pangolin (53 minutes):
The World’s Most Wanted Animal: Meet the pangolin, the almost unheard-of and yet most-trafficked animal in the world.
A posting on the Nature blog addresses the issue of animals and COVID-19:
It’s important to note that these animals alone do not cause the transfer of the coronavirus to humans. COVID-19 (as well as SARS) was transferred by human interference with the animals. The capturing, slaughtering, selling/trading and consumption of wildlife are to blame, not the animals themselves.
