The two endangered snow leopards that tested positive for COVID-19 at the San Diego Zoo last month are recovering, officials said in an update. 

'The male and female snow leopards, suspected to have contracted the virus that causes COVID-19, are not showing any concerning signs of illness other than coughs that are diminishing,' a San Diego Zoo spokesperson told DailyMail.com on Monday. 'They are eating and moving about normally.'

Three-year-old Naphisa and 9-year-old Ramil tested positive late in July after experts at the zoo tested stool samples for both mammals, according to the San Diego Tribune.
