Coronavirus: 6 lions, 3 tigers test positive for COVID-19 at Smithsonian’s National Zoo

WASHINGTON — Nine big cats at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo are being treated for coronavirus, attraction officials confirmed Friday.

According to WTOP, animal handlers at the zoo observed coughing, sneezing, decreased appetites and lethargy among several lions and tigers one week ago, and fecal samples collected from the felines have tested presumptive positive for COVID-19.

“The tigers are less affected than the lions, showing fewer symptoms. The varying degrees of symptoms have us watching all of the animals very carefully,” zoo spokeswoman Pamela Baker-Masson told the TV station.

“We’re being as positive as possible,” she added.
