Two leopard cubs -- but not these ones -- were reportedly found in a traveler's suitcase at Suvarnabhumi International Airport.
Another addition to the “world’s dumbest smuggler” list.

According to Monstersandcritics.com, a suspected wildlife trafficker was arrested at Suvarnabhumi early Friday while trying to smuggle live leopards, panthers, monkeys and a bear out of the country in his suitcases. 

The website says that Noor Mahmoodr, 36, a citizen of the United Arab Emirates, was arrested at Suvarnabhumi Airport as he prepared to fly first class to Dubai.

All of the animals are reportedly still alive and have been put in the care of Thai veterinarians.
