The Department of National Zoological Gardens today issued a statement saying that the precautions are being taken at the Dehiwala Zoo following the detection of a Covid positive lion, 'Thor'. They said that all other animals have been kept apart from the lion while Zoo officials are also taking health precautions in order to not let the virus transmit from the lion to themselves. They also stated that the officials of the Dehiwala Zoo are in constant contact with officials from the Central Zoological Authority from India to gain advice on the maintenance and treatment of the lion. "'Thor' had been procured from the Seoul Zoo and is now about 11 years old. It was detected that the lion has had throat aches and irregular diet habits, following which an antigen test was done on it. When we did a PCR test, it came as positive. We also tried the PCR several times to ascertain the result. Currently the lion is receiving treatment at the zoo," the Zoological Gardens Department said.
