Jupiter, a 14-year-old Amur tiger, passed away on Sunday after officials at the Columbus Zoo confirmed that he had developed pneumonia which was caused by the COVID-19 virus.
"On Wednesday, June 22, Jupiter was reported by his care team to be acting ill. ," the zoo wrote in a statement on social media."When this continued into the next day, Jupiter was anesthetized for examination and treatment. Initial exams suggested an infection, and treatment was started."
"Unfortunately, Jupiter did not improve with this treatment and remained reluctant to move and eat," officials continued."The following day, he was given additional treatments and had more diagnostic testing." "Jupiter's care team remembers him as a big and impressive tiger who loved fish, sleeping in the habitat's cave, playing with cardboard boxes, and interacting with another favorite item-a 75-pound firehouse"plus sign" that was heavy for keepers to move but something he carried around like it weighed nothing," said the Columbus Zoo.
