White tiger cubs likely died of Covid, zoo says Bethany Dawson © Provided by The Independent Two tiger cubs who recently died in a Pakistani Zoo appear to have been killed by Covid-19, officials have said. The two 11-week-old white tiger cubs who lived at Lahore Zoo died four days after beginning treatment for feline panleukopenia virus, a common virus affecting cats’ respiratory systems. However, an autopsy has revealed severe lung damage, with pathologists concluding they died from Covid-19. Although no PCR test for coronavirus was conducted, the zoo’s deputy director Kiran Saleem told Reuters the zoo believes the cubs were the victims of the pandemic, which has killed 12,256 people in Pakistan.
