The process is now underway to vaccinate more than 100 animals against COVID-19 at the Philadelphia Zoo, 6ABC.com notes.
According to the reports mentioned in the online publication, the animal team began the vaccination process this week with a focus on higher-risk animals to begin.
Hinshaw also made sure to point out the fact that the meat-eating animals are also among the first on the list that needs to be vaccinated.
“The carnivores would be the big cats, our maned wolf, otters, bears, and animals in that family,” Hinshaw added.

“This isn’t really much different for them, but obviously, it’s a pretty exciting time for us. We’re not out of the woods by any means, but it is a step forward that we’ve been waiting for, for a long time.”
