SARS-CоV-2, the nоvel cоronаvirus responsible for COVID-19, gаins entry to cells by binding to their ACE2 receptors. Shown here is simplified homology (similаrity) data for key ACE2 sites in humans and some representative mammals, with "total similarity" representing how many amino acids match with the human ACE2, e.g., 15/15 means all 15 amino acids at these key binding sites are the same as the human ones, 0/15 would mean none of the amino acids at these sites match the human ones. Species (common name) : Total similarity Homo sapiens (human) : 15/15 Macaca mulatta (rhesus macaque) : 15/15 Canis lupus familiaris (domestic dog) : 10/15 Felis catus (domestic cat) : 11/15 Paguma larvata (masked palm civet) : 8/15 Mus musculus (house mouse) : 7/15 Research has shown that all but one of these species can be infected by SARS-CoV-2.

Outside help is not allowed. Based on the above data, which of these species can we conclude is the one that is not infected by SARS-CoV-2? Information above is a modification of the figure below, shown just for your information or possible interest. Note that you do not need to review the following figure in order to answer this question (i.e., please ignore unless you have extra time on the test!)
