Facebook is the preferred selling method for endangered wildlife traders

Wildlife police have highlighted the growing use of Facebook to sell endangered animals as they seized nine critically rare slow lorises from cyber-smugglers.

The officers discovered the critically-endangered animals - which were in "severe distress" - crammed into cramped boxes in Pekanbaru in West Sumatra.

Sadly one loris had died - believed to have suffocated in the cramped, airless container.
