NEW YORK - A tiger at the Bronx Zoo in New York City has tested positive for the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus, in the first known case of Covid-19 in an animal in the United States or a tiger globally, a zoo spokesman said on Sunday .
Nadia, the 4-year-old female Malayan tiger that tested positive, had developed a dry cough but is expected to recover, the Wildlife Conservation Society, which manages the zoo, said in a statement. "We tested the cat out of an abundance of caution and will ensure any knowledge we gain about Covid-19 will contribute to the world's continuing understanding of this novel coronavirus," WCS said in the statement.
The positive test marked the first coronavirus case for a tiger anywhere and the first of an animal in the United States, spokesman Stephen Sautner said. Help us give a big New York welcome to Nadia and Azul, our Malayan tiger cub duo here at the zoo. #tigercubs pic.twitter.com/9UHykqXoki
