New Delhi, Sep 7: Customs officials at Bengaluru airport rescued 72 exotic snakes from a baggage that arrived from Bangkok, while six Capuchin monkeys were found dead.

"A total of 78 animals were found, comprising 55 Ball Pythons of different colour morphs and 17 King Cobras. These were found alive and in active condition, while six Capuchin monkeys were found dead," said a Customs official.
