USA: five Sumatran tigers test positive for Covid-19 in San Diego Zoo
San Diego Safari Park has learned that five of its six Sumatran tigers have Covid-19 after testing stool samples from the animals. The news comes days after the zoo learned that both of its snow leopards, Ramil and Naphisa, had Covid-19. Both leopards had mild coughs but have nearly made a full recovery, according to Lisa Peterson, executive director of the Safari Park.
