What is a Raccoon Dog

 In reading about possible virus vectors for Covid, they have found that Raccoon Dogs in Wuhan have both human DNA and the Covid Virus.

Interesting, except I have never heard of a "Raccon Dog".


Turns out they are pretty common in parts of Asia - including China. The are canids, kind of a carnivorous member of the dog-ish family like hyenas and foxes.  Who knew?
