Abstract This Lilliput explores the current epidemiological and virological arguments for a zoonotic origin of COVID‐19 pandemic. While role bats, pangolins racoon dogs as viral reservoirs has not yet been proven, spill‐over coronavirus infection from animals into humans at Huanan food market in Wuhan much greater plausibility than alternative hypotheses such laboratory virus escape, deliberate genetic engineering or introduction by cold chain products. highlights dynamic nature animal‐human interface cross‐infections feral white tail deer farmed minks (reverse zoonosis). Surveillance infections is an urgent task since live animal markets are only risks future spill‐overs. Climate change will induce migration which leads to exchanges between species that have met past. Environmental deforestation also increase contact humans. Developing early warning system emerging becomes thus societal necessity human but environmental health (One Health concept). Microbiologists developed tools ranging virome analysis key suspects (bats, wild game animals, bushmeat) exposed wastewater detect known unknown viruses circulating population sentinel studies animal‐exposed patients with fever.
