Anti-Smuggling Photos: Thinkstock During the inspection of hand luggage, airport customs officers were extremely surprised at what they saw on the monitor: something like a heartbeat. Opening a suspicious suitcase, they found there a tiger cub. Laid diagonally in a small suitcase among terry towels and plush tigers, he slept peacefully under the influence of tranquilizers. The baby was wearing a muzzle. According to the smuggler, the passenger hoped that the tiger cub would be mistaken for a toy. Now, according to the laws of the country, a woman is facing three years in prison. An urgent toy was immediately handed over to veterinarians, who immediately began to take measures to remove the animal from its narcotic sleep. According to them, the baby was very weak, and the tranquilizer dose was so serious that the tiger could not survive a flight of 4-5 hours and would have died in a suitcase. Now the baby has already recovered and is likely to be transferred to one of the zoos . Wildlife conservation experts still intend to find out if he was caught in the wild or raised in captivity. While it wasn’t possible to find out also for what purpose the tiger cub was supposed to fly to Iran, the country where it has its own.
