Illness kills multiple tigers in Thailand
Posted on 2026-02-24 19:07:13
Authorities in Chiang Mai, a city in northern Thailand, are investigating the
deaths of dozens of tigers at a popular tourist attraction.

Seventy-two tigers died in the span of less than two weeks this month, across
two facilities of Tiger Kingdom Chiang Mai, a park where visitors can touch
and interact with the big cats.

The local livestock department said samples from the tigers showed canine
distemper virus - though authorities have not confirmed how the outbreak
happened.

Officials said today that the virus was no longer spreading and no more
tigers were dying.

No humans had been infected.

The big cats were among more than 240 tigers living across the two facilities
at Tiger Kingdom Chiang Mai.
