"Airport Worker Suspended for Allowing Excessive Otters"

An airport worker in Thailand has been suspended after a passenger smuggled over 30 live animals, including two baby otters, onto a flight to Taiwan. The animals, which also included tortoises and a marmot, were discovered when some of them escaped and caused chaos on the plane. The incident revealed a lapse in security at the Thai airport, which is known to be a transit hub for wildlife smugglers. Authorities are investigating the suspected smugglers, and the animals have been seized for further examination.
