A statue of a white tiger peers from a hedge at the Attica Zoological Park in Spata, near Athens.
At first it seemed a case of the fairly common feline panleukopenia virus had stricken the two 11-week-old white tiger cubs late last month in the Lahore Zoo.
Four days later, on Jan. 30, they died of what appeared to be a respiratory virus. But after subsequent autopsies found their lungs ravaged by severe infection, pathologists at the Pakistani zoo concluded the cubs had more likely been covid-19 victims, the coronavirus passed to them through the zoo’s staff, Reuters reported.
