Wildlife activists in India say they are increasingly encountering exotic animals such as orangutans and rare reptiles that appear to have been smuggled into the country, according to a report by Deutsche Welle (DW).

The report states that the presence of these non-native species suggests India is becoming a significant destination for trafficked wildlife, a trend that has left conservationists and animal rights advocates struggling to understand the scale and mechanics of the trade.

DW's report does not detail the specific routes, networks or numbers of animals involved, but highlights growing unease among activists over the phenomenon.

The emergence of such exotic species, which are not native to South Asia, points to an expanding illegal wildlife trade that experts say poses challenges for law enforcement and conservation efforts in the region.

DW has not specified which authorities or organizations are currently investigating the trend, and further details on the origins of the trafficked animals were not immediately available in the report.
