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.
