A United States zoo has begun inoculating big cats, bears, and ferrets against the virus using an experimental vaccine, as efforts are ramped up to protect animal species from the coronavirus.
The Oakland Zoo in the San Francisco Bay Area administered the shot to its tigers Ginger and Molly, as well as black and grizzly bears, mountain lions and ferrets. Primates and pigs are next on the list, DW reports.
The shots have been donated by the veterinary pharmaceutical company Zoetis, which aims to deliver 11,000 doses for animals in nearly 70 zoos.
