    A tiger at the Bronx Zoo has the Coronavirus. That ain't good.

    Jumping species is bad and I'm not blaming Carole Baskin.

    NEW YORK -- A tiger at New York City's Bronx Zoo has tested positive for COVID-19, the Wildlife Conservation Society said in a statement.

    The tiger, a 4-year-old female Malayan tiger named Nadia, developed a dry cough and a decrease in appetite. She was tested out of an abundance of caution, and the results were confirmed by the USDA's National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Iowa, the society said.

    Her sister Azul, two Amur tigers and three African lions also showed coronavirus symptoms, but all of the cats, including Nadia, are expected to recover.

    The zoo said the cats were infected by a person caring for them who had COVID-19 but was asymptomatic or had not yet developed symptoms.

    "Appropriate preventive measures are now in place for all staff who are caring for them, and the other cats in our four WCS zoos, to prevent further exposure of any other of our zoo cats," the Wildlife Conservation Society, the parent company of the Bronx Zoo, said in a statement.

    It is unknown how the disease develops in big cats. There is also no evidence that animals can infect people with the virus.

    Nadia and Azul became visitor favorites after their appearance on Animal Planet's 2017 docu-series "The Zoo."

    Coming from a contaminated food source? Or, a human?
    They need to find out.

    They hide details like that in the article.

    If it was even hinted that folks pets could get this when it first started then folks would have stayed in and self quarantined to protect their pets Much better than they are their fellow human beings. Folks care more about their pets than other people.

    I don't think social distancing is going to be a problem with this one.

    Nope. What's next? Mice or roaches that can spread it?

    Or birds catching it and passing it on to us airborne?

    Exciting times.

    Flies would be much worse. This virus just needs to get on a surface you use...or find its way on your hands somehow.

    Is zoo staff essential workers? I thought the governor keeps saying every day that he's shutting non-essential down.

    This is going to get more extreme if more animals start getting it.....

    Zoo staff are essential. At least enough of them to feed and care for the animals. Up until this thread, I would’ve thought that was a nice and safe job to have. Alone with the animals. No humans to get you sick. Scratch that idea now I guess.

    And why was his handler tested if he wasn’t showing any symptoms? I thought we weren’t wasting tests on people who don’t show symptoms

    originally the jazz and thunder players were just being tested for stds after both squads ran trains on your mom and sister. The coronavirus test was an afterthought.

    25 of the 28 players tested positive for various forms of stds after playing Thomas at the HS house of loads. HS dad hoping wife and daughter get knocked up for that nba check.
