In this Oct. 10. 2019, photo, provided by the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, Ramil, a male snow leopard, rests at the San Diego Zoo in San Diego. Ramil was tested for the coronavirus after caretakers noticed that he had a cough and runny nose on Thursday, July 22, 2021. The animal's stool sample was tested by the zoo staff and at a state-level lab, both of which confirmed the presence of the coronavirus, the zoo said in a statement the following day.

The gorilla troop, which has since recovered, became the first known example of the virus infecting apes. The case prompted the zoo to request an experimental COVID-19 vaccine for animals for emergency use. The vaccine from Zoetis, animal company that was once part of Pfizer, was administered to species most at risk of contracting COVID-19, including several primates and big cats.There is no vaccine mandate for the staff, but unvaccinated employees are required to wear masks at all times, the zoo said.

I’m new to Twitter, but after reading some the comments here.. I now recall why I never joined earlier, and why I abandoned Facebook 4 yrs ago …. My low tolerance for Stupid comments ..God help our country !

Stuff like this make you think there may be something to the whole 5G thing. JK OF COURSE How does an animal like this get covid 19?

Who sneezed in the leopard’s mouth?

Not wearing a mask no doubt, silly leopard

Bless his heart♥️

Because it's a Virus! You can't control a Virus! Especially one that's been engineered in a Lab and isn't Natural!

Let's vaccinate all the animals of the world now!

Will Gavin Newsom force him to wear a mask?

This is why zoo keepers and observers need mask not just for humans.

So.. now that the leopard has COVID! Is the zoo shutting down What about all the other animals? Crazy to think that this leopard has survived but yet all the animals that they were testing the virus on didn’t! Hmmmm.. isntitironic

It’s because it’s in a zoo

It's call 'FLU' or cold. Stop with this bullshit.🤦

Be probably made out with a bat! Ramil is one freaky leopard.

The cat has a cough and runny nose! Wtf!

Can they test your stool for Covid instead of sticking the Q-Tip in your brain? Asking for a friend…..

You are all bat shit crazy 😂😂😂😂. Anything to try and drive home some more fear even though more and more proof comes out on where this virus is from, that PCR tests were giving inconsistent and invalid results, the lost goes on and on for this scamdemic

lmao

I hope he will be ok

A Panda bear at the Chinese section was fed bat soup.

But how? That’s the interesting part …

Hope he recovers soon.

You notice they made a point to say it was unvaccinated. Like vaccinating animals is a common thing.

😂😂😂😂😂

Can Ramil be cured?

Could Covid-19 be More airborne than originally thought?

Poor baby. I hope you feel better soon Ramil.❤️

Seriously wtf who cares

Trouble is we're watching ourselves about COVID-19 but guess what our PET Dog's could have the COVID VIRUS!!! and animals aren't vaccinated!!

'Unvaccinated Snow leopard... ' ... Is there another kind?

Might as well call everything now “COVID-19.” 😂😂😂

It’s probably casted a Democratic fake vote so it has the fake hoax called COVID

Which person was kissing the leopard?

Pfizer/Moderna Strategy Meeting:. How can we get more market penetration? Pets?! That's a huge market, and most people will be dumb enough to believe it. Immediately pitches idea to media.

😢

Lmao. Tf is this? Is this a joke? Or are we 'serious'
