Wet Market Descriptions

Caption

Wet markets sell consumption-oriented, perishable goods in a non-supermarket setting. Wildlife markets, on the other hand, sell non-domesticated wild animals, and live-animal markets sell live animals. The Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market -- considered a possible source of the COVID-19 pandemic -- was a wet market, a live-animal market, and a wildlife market all in one.
