The tiger is a 4-year-old female from Malaysia, officials said. Three other tigers and three African lions also have developed a dry cough and were expected to recover, according to the zoo, which has been closed to the public since March 16.
The National Veterinary Services Laboratory confirmed the tiger's positive COVID-19 test.
"We tested the cat out of an abundance of caution" and aimed to "contribute to the world's continuing understanding of this novel coronavirus," Dr. Paul Calle, the zoo's chief veterinarian, said.

They wasted a test on a ANIMAL ? PATHETIC LIBS.
I thought test kits were in short supply??
I guess the tigers needed it more than some stoopid human.
Good idea. We need to know if our pets can transmit the virus too. So don't pet my dog please.
PRMC has no tests.... maybe we should all go to the zoo to get tested?
WTF?
No social distancing in the Tiger Pen?
Um, we are ALL animals.
Is this true? Wow
Why are they testing animals when there aren't enough test kits for the citizens? Nipple Boi Bloomberg should put a stop to that B/S!
I'll tell you why we don't have test, CAROLE FRIGGIN' BASKINS
It’s not a kit and never has been. Also their are enough tests. Try turning off cnn for a couple days and be happy. Thank you
Lol!!
Thank you for that. I just spit soda out of my nose!!
I needed a good laugh.
They wasted not just one testing kit, but they tested all of the animals. People struggle to get tested but tigers are at the head of the line. sounds about right. I was thinking about writing NYs senator but then I remembered who that is adn all made sense to me again.
