SAN DIEGO - San Diego Zoo officials suspect an unvaccinated male snow leopard has tested positive for COVID-19, according to a press release.
Zookeepers said they noticed the animal had a cough and nasal discharge earlier this week. They collected fecal samples, which confirmed the presence of the coronavirus.
The California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory System also received a sample and confirmed the presence of the coronavirus.
