Luckily the ape was found, might have perished during the journey.
A Russian tourist has been arrested in Indonesia after airport security discovered a drugged orangutan in his suitcase, local officials said Saturday.
Andrei Zhestkov, 27, told authorities that a friend had given him the 2-year-old animal as a gift. The friend had purchased the orangutan for about $3,000 at a Javanese market, Zhestkov claimed. The tourist said he’d intended on bringing the orangutan back with him to Russia to keep as a pet. Police said Zhestkov also had two geckos and several lizards, all of them alive, in his luggage.
