In the upcoming episode of Animal Planet's 'The Zoo', Dr. Paul Calle explains the process of testing a big cat, which is a bit more complex than the drive-up procedure undertaken by many human subjects.
The Bronx Zoo's chief veterinarian explains the testing process for Nadia, the four-year-old Malayan tiger whose positive test for the coronavirus this week drew international attention, in a 10-minute update on Animal Planet's"The Zoo" this Saturday .
Nadia was tested after her sister Azul, two Amur tigers and three African lions developed a dry cough. On Sunday, the Bronx Zoo and the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced three labs had confirmed a positive COVID-19 test for Nadia, who had a cough and mild loss of appetite. Animal medical experts are adapting to the positive test, the first known instance of a tiger being infected with the virus.
