Exotic Animals Including Baby Kangaroo, Aldabra Tortoises Seized in Assam

 

29 July 2020



In another big seizure of exotic animals in Assam and a foiled attempt by smugglers to slip across borders, the Cachar Forest Division on Tuesday confiscated a consignment of exotic wildlife, including a baby kangaroo, a pair of Capuchin monkeys and six Hyacinth macaws, species of parrot native to South America.

“We have taken the custody of these animals and they are currently in Silchar. Our vets are monitoring their health and their condition is found to be good. But the Hyacinth macaws are very delicate, so we have decided to get all the animals to Assam State Zoo today,” said Sunnydeo Choudhary, Divisional Forest Officer (DFO), Cachar, adding that the two drivers of the seized truck would be produced in court and soon after the proceedings, the animals would be transported to Assam zoo.
