SAN DIEGO A male snow leopard at the San Diego Zoo has preliminarily tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, it was announced today.
On Thursday, wildlife care specialists noticed the snow leopard had a cough and nasal discharge. Fecal samples collected from the snow leopard and tested at the zoo confirmed the presence of SARS-CoV-2.
The results were sent to the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory System for further testing, and those results also were positive. All positive tests for the virus are required to be sent to the U.S. Department of Agriculture s National Veterinary Services Laboratories, where the results are still pending.

Ramil, a 9-year-old male snow leopard at the San Diego Zoo, has tested positive for the coronavirus, according to an announcement from the organization on Friday.
Zoo staff first tested the animal’s stool for the virus after noticing Thursday that he had a cough and runny nose. When that test came back positive, the wildlife care team sent samples to the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory System so that the state-level lab could confirm the result, which it did.
And while the zoo is still waiting for a U.S. Department of Agriculture lab to triple-check the finding, it expects that sample to come back positive, too, according to a spokesperson.
