Tiger Cub Found in Woman's Luggage
Thai officials found a sedated live two month old tiger cub in a woman's luggage. She was trying to smuggle the cub out of the country. The woman was boarding a flight to Iran, but it is not known what the final destination for the cub was. If it was a wild tiger cub, it's likely an orphan now.Traffic.org has a blurb about the cub and they were the organization that supplied the photo to the news outlets. Here's an update from the BBC.
