TL;DR

Six Indian nationals were arrested at Bangkok's international airport for attempting to smuggle a red panda and 87 other animals, including snakes, parrots, and monitor lizards, out of Thailand in their checked luggage. The suspects face a maximum of 10 years behind bars, and Thailand is a major transit hub for wildlife smugglers, with the animals usually sold in China and Vietnam.
