” Bronx Zoo says one of its tigers has tested positive for coronavirus”

The more I hear of this virus passing back and forth between humans a animals, the more concerned I am.

It’s a big deal when it is making zoonotic leaps. Every iteration is a new risk.

The tiger which tested positive for coronavirus is 4-year-old Nadia, a Malaysian tiger. Her sister, 2 Amur tigers, and 3 African lions have developed a dry cough as well. All are expected to recover

So BIG cats can get it, too?

Not good news for the felines.
