Indian authorities arrested a man at Mumbai airport for attempting to smuggle 47 venomous Indonesian pit vipers, along with other rare reptiles including spider-tailed horned vipers and Asian leaf turtles, concealed in his luggage. The passenger, returning from Thailand, was apprehended Sunday. While importing animals isn't always illegal, India's wildlife protection laws prohibit importing certain species without proper permits. This incident follows similar recent seizures of smuggled wildlife at Indian airports.
