A tiger at the Bronx Zoo has tested positive for the new coronavirus, in what is believed to be the first known infection in an animal in the U.S. or a tiger anywhere. The infected tiger is a 4 year old Malayan tiger, Nadia. Six other tigers and lions have also fallen ill. They all are believed to have been infected by a zoo employee who wasn't yet showing symptoms. The first animal started showing symptoms on March 27.
