Red panda found in luggage at Bangkok airport

Authorities at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport were stunned when they discovered a red panda hidden in a traveler’s luggage. The adorable creature was found during a routine security check before the passenger’s flight to Dubai.

The red panda, a species native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China, was reportedly calm and unharmed. Airport officials immediately contacted wildlife authorities to ensure the safe handling and care of the animal.

It is believed that the passenger may have been attempting to smuggle the red panda, which is considered a protected species under international conservation laws. Investigations are ongoing to determine the motives behind this illegal act.

Fortunately, the red panda is now receiving proper care and attention from wildlife experts. It serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting endangered species and preventing illegal wildlife trafficking.
