2 elephants die from virus (non-COVID) at Albuquerque zoo
Zoo officials said Thorn, a three-year-old male, died on Christmas day. His sister, Jazmine, an 8-year-old Asian elephant, died on Sunday.“As a community, we are all saddened by the loss of any elephants, especially young animals like Thorn and Jazmine.
The zoo said all elephants can inactively carry EEHV without any negative effects but it is unclear what causes the virus to become activated and potentially lethal. "EEHV causes hemorrhagic disease that can be fatal for young elephants. It is the leading cause of death for Asian elephant calves and can strike elephants in the wild and in human care," a statement from the zoo said.
