It also looks like a bunch more deaths have occurred in the last few weeks in big cats (both in the wild and zoo animals) in the US, despite all the efforts zoos are no doubt taking to shield them. A lot of zoos seem to be closing down the aviaries to the public and especially outdoor bird exhibits of things like penguins which might become exposed to birds landing in their enclosures.

Also note that the big and "big" cats all have low populations requiring large hunting ranges per cat. These small populations make them more vulnerable to being wiped out entirely.
