ON THE NOSE

Airport inspectors find 2000 baboon noses

Two thousand baboon noses have been found in a suitcase by inspectors at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport. Baggage handlers had noticed a "putrid smell" from an unaccompanied suitcase believed to have come from Lagos, Nigeria, and apparently destined for the US. Inspectors said the 30kg suitcase was filled with rotting baboon noses.
Esther Naber, of the Worldwide Fund for Nature, said: Baboons are on the second-most-endangered list and can be killed only under exceptional circumstances and with a licence.
