In-Sync Exotics Wildlife Rescue
Iona, a female tiger, died from canine distemper virus on March 20.
An eighth exotic cat has died after a canine distemper outbreak at a Dallas-area wildlife sanctuary.
Officials with In-Sync Exotics
Wildlife Rescue and Education Center in Wylie said an 11-year-old female
tiger named Iona died Thursday.
The sanctuary lost seven big cats
during July and August 2013 from the same virus and workers there hoped
they were done with the virus. Tests for Iona had all come back
negative, but neurological damage had already been done and workers say
her health declined rapidly.
