A 433-pound gorilla named Shango at Miami zoo has been tested for the coronavirus after he was found to have a low-grade fever after being wounded in a fight with his younger sibling.

The 31-year-old's test came back negative when he was treated at the Zoo Miami hospital on Wednesday after the confrontation with Barney, 26, zoo officials said.



Photos show the patient sedated and strapped to a treatment table while a medic uses a swab to take a sample from inside his nose with the result coming back negative.

The team also performed a TB test and bronchoscopy, which allowed them to examine Shango's lungs.
