Probably coughed on the food dish or food supplies.

I’ll remember not to invite her for dinner.
Do we have face masks for tigers? Just a thought!
I want to meet the man who is going to put a mask on a tiger.
Charlie Sheen?
...her sister Azul, two Amur tigers and three African lions developed a dry cough...
They need someone to hold the tissue as they blow. Are Siegfried and Roy available?
