Rihanna animal pics lead to arrests

Pop star Rihanna has left behind a trail of racy tweets and an incriminating Instagram photograph from a Thailand trip that led police to arrest two men for peddling protected primates.

 

On a break from her Diamonds World Tour, Rihanna stopped in Thailand to visit the island of Phuket, where she befriended some local wildlife.

 

She posted a link on Twitter to an Instagram photo showing her snuggling up to a furry primate called the slow loris, and tweeted on Friday: "Look who was talkin dirty to me!"

 

The slow loris, native to Southeast Asia, is listed as a protected species.

 

A Phuket official said on Sunday the picture led police to arrest two people on Saturday. They could face up to four years in prison if charged with possession of protected animals.
