SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Members of a gorilla troop at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park have tested positive for the coronavirus.

The zoo says two members of the troop began exhibiting a cough on Jan. 6. Zoo staff collected fecal samples from the gorillas and tested them for the virus.

Two days later, preliminary results showed the presence of COVID-19 in the gorilla troop. Those results were confirmed on Jan. 11. While the results only confirmed COVID-19 in two of the gorillas, the zoo says that doesn't rule out the virus in other members of the troop.

"Aside from some congestion and coughing, the gorillas are doing well," said Lisa Peterson, executive director at San Diego Zoo Safari Park. "The troop remains quarantined together and are eating and drinking. We are hopeful for a full recovery."

What does a gorilla cough sound like?

Were they not wearing their masks and practicing social distancing?




I think they should confirm with a PCR swab...RIP to the poor bastard that pulls the short straw for that job.

I knew Harambe didn't die from being shot. That was just a cover-up.

I thought the current narrative was that we didn’t have enough tests? If that’s true, why are we testing random arse gorillas?

There’s a joke in there that could be made, but I don’t feel like getting banned today.

So you’d rather a foot long swab up the arse instead of the nose?

Understandable, gorilla elections are typically held in May after hibernation season.
