Other animals the woman allegedly attempted to smuggle included an unknown number of common marmoset, Senegal bushbaby, Asian barred owlet, green iguana, Nile monitor, Indian star tortoise, Mekong snail-eating turtle, and elongated tortoise.Taiwanese authorities are likely to euthanize all but the Sunda slow loris to comply with disease control and prevention laws, the newspaper said.
