#1  My SWAG, (i.e. scientific wild ass guess) is that animal was domestic ferry or house cat. Both might have been used as a host experimental animal. Remember viruses can only reproduce in living cells. I don't know how easy it is to make bat cell line cultures. Remember that lions at Bromx zoo caught covid and the out break at mink farms invidious countries that have occured. . Then all iy takes is for a lab worker to decide that that is nice pet and out the door of the lab goes the virus. One of my brother's friends had a "legal beagle" as a pet. He worked at a lab that had a government contract for testing MRE Cole slaw by feeding dogs the stuff. They came from Charles Rivers rather than the pound hence their nickname.
