Men arrested hiding loris in underwear at Delhi airport (BBC)

Three men have been arrested in Delhi for trying to board a flight with small primates hidden in their underwear.

Two of the men were found with slender lorises concealed in pouches in their briefs, a customs official at Indira Ghandi International Airport told the BBC.

The men were transit passengers, en route to Dubai from Bangkok.

The animals were uncovered when security guards noticed a bulge in their underwear during a frisk.

The Press Trust of India reported that one of the lorises was 7in (17.8cm) in length.

This may read as comedy, but see the full article for details of what is happening to the wild loris population.

Illegal trafficking will be the death of these wonderful animals.
