Eight Asiatic lions at the sprawling Nehru Zoological park in Hyderabad have tested positive for the coronavirus, the first known instance in India.
In April 2020, eight lions and tigers had tested positive for Covid in New York’s Bronx zoo.
Dr Siddhanand Kukrety, curator and director of the Hyderabad zoo, told the Times of India that the lions had shown Covid symptoms. “But I am yet to receive RT-PCR reports from the Centre for Cellular & Molecular Biology (CCMB),” he said.
He noted that the lions were doing well. The CCMB will do a detailed investigation of the samples for genome sequencing to check if the strain came from humans.
The 380-acre park has more than 1,500 creatures.
Last month, some caretakers alerted the veterinary team after they noticed that lions had dry cough, nasal discharge and had no appetite.
