Endangered Red Panda Found in Luggage at Thai Airport

Articles report on an incident at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport where 87 animals, including a red panda, a cotton-top tamarin monkey, a fishing cat, a Sulawesi bear cuscus, monitor lizards, birds, and snakes, were found hidden in luggage being transported from Bangkok to Mumbai. Six Indian nationals have been arrested for attempting to smuggle these animals out of Thailand. The articles agree on the number of animals discovered and the nationalities of those arrested but differ slightly in the order and specific mention of the animal species involved. Thailand is identified as a major hub for illegal wildlife smuggling.
