Smuggling A Slender Loris

On September 10, 2012, a man was caught trying to smuggle a Slender Loris in his pants through airport security. In New Delhi at the New Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport, a man headed to Dubai was being patted down at the airport, which is standard procedure, and they found a rare little creature in his pants. The Slender Loris is a rare and endangered species that is listed under the Wildlife Protection Act of India. The security at the airport found a second Slender Loris hidden inside of a garbage can. Both of the Slender Loris's were taken into custody of wildlife authorities.
