Jupiter, a 14-year-old Amur tiger, died Sunday at the Columbus Zoo. Jupiter is the first animal at the zoo to die from complications from COVID-19. COLUMBUS, Ohio — A 14-year-old Amur tiger died last weekend at the Columbus Zoo after developing pneumonia caused by the COVID-19 coronavirus.
The zoo says Jupiter had been on a long-term treatment for a chronic underlying illness, which made the tiger susceptible to the coronavirus. The tiger’s care team noticed Jupiter was showing signs of illness on June 22, including a reluctance to stand or move, and no interest in eating. He was anesthetized and examined the next day. A treatment for an infection was started, officials say.
The zoo is requiring its staff working with cats, great apes and mustelids to wear masks when within 6 feet of the animals as a precautionary measure. The zoo says these animals are more susceptible to contracting the coronavirus.
