Leopard cub seized from passenger's luggage at Chennai airport

In a bizarre news, a leopard cub has been recovered from the luggage of a passenger who arrived from Thailand at Chennai International Airport on Saturday. Kaha Moideen, 45, had brought the animal from Bangkok and was caught carrying it in his bag by the Air Intelligence Unit at the airport. The cub will be rehabilitated to a zoo in Chennai. Here's what happened.

Details
Officials heard muffled voices while frisking the accused

On Saturday morning, the customs officials at the airport stopped a passenger for random checking. While frisking the accused, the officials heard some muffled cries which seemed to be coming from his checked-in baggage. Upon checking, they found the leopard cub inside a pink plastic basket and the animal was reportedly in a state of shock making shill noises.

About
Officials fed the female leopard cub milk through feeding bottle

To calm the animal, the customs officials gave milk to it through a feeding bottle. Forest officials then rushed to the spot and confirmed that the animal was a female leopard cub belonging to the Panthera Pardus species. The cub weighed 1.1 kg and is 54 cm tall. Both- the cub and the accused, have been handed over to the Tamil Nadu forest department.

Information
Cub to be rehabilitated to Aringar Anna Zoological Park

Action will be taken against Moideen under the Wildlife Protection Act 1972. Meanwhile, according to reports, the cub will be rehabilitated to the Aringar Anna Zoological Park in Chennai.
