«Breaking News» Airline passenger is arrested in India after smuggling month-old leopard cub on flight from Bangkok

An airline passenger who smuggled a baby leopard cub carrying it in his hand luggage on a flight from Bangkok to Chennai has been arrested, Indian authorities said today.

The month-old cub, weighting just over 2.2 pounds (1 kg), was found in a plastic grocery basket hidden inside a bag when the passenger arrived in India on a Thai Airways flight.

Officials said they grew suspicious after hearing sounds coming from the bag.

As the passenger tried to rush out of the terminal in Chennai, the capital city of southern Tamil Nadu state, authorities found the cub in his hand luggage.

'He was evasive in his replies so his baggage was opened for further examination,' an official at the airport said.

 Airport officials gave the baby leopard milk from a baby's bottle 

'The animal was in a state of shock and was making trill sounds and appeared to be weak,' he said.

The nationality of the 45-year-old passenger is still unclear and the case was handed over to state's Wildlife Crime Bureau.

Airport authorities have released a video showing officials giving the cub milk from a baby's bottle. 

'We have taken the custody of the passenger and are questioning him on the source of the animal,' A.O. Limatoshi, head of Chennai Wildlife Crime Bureau, told AFP.

He said they are investigating whether the man was carrying the leopard as part of an international smuggling chain.

Leopards can be found across the Asian continent but they are believed to be highly vulnerable.

Their population is currently declining because of habitat loss and poaching for the illegal trade of skins and body part.

It is estimated that about 12,000 - 14,000 leopards live in India, World Land Trust reports.

They are an endangered species in India and smuggling them in or out of the country is illegal.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
