(CNN) -- Mexican authorities searching a man with a bulge under his shirt at the airport in the nation's capital found 18 monkeys hidden beneath his clothes, police said.
Investigators grew suspicious after Roberto Sol Cabrera Zavaleta, 38, became "markedly nervous" when asked what he was transporting, Mexico's Public Safety Department said.
Two of the tiny titi monkeys he was carrying in a belt were dead, the department said in a statement, and 16 of them survived the journey from Lima, Peru.
Cabrera has been detained as authorities continue their investigation, the statement said.
In an interview with authorities released by police, Cabrera said he first carried the monkeys in his suitcase, but then hid the animals in his clothes so they would not be harmed by X-ray machines at the airport.
Cabrera described the animals as "pets" and told authorities he had purchased them for $30.
Titi monkeys are protected endangered species requiring a permit for possession, police said.
Images released by police show the tiny creatures, many of which are tied up in pouches, squirming in a cardboard box.

I know man, I wish I could just squeeze all of em'.
Holy shit what a little fucking turd. :eek:
Anyone else feel more sorrow when an animal dies rather than when a human dies? lol.
If I see a video of an animal getting hurt, I'll get so upset. But if I see a guy getting killed I won't give a shit. :mad:
What do you think that guy was planning on doing? Look at that smug impression.
Yeah he had them wrapped up in socks so some of them suffocated.
Cant stand that shit. In a movie or something if a person dies I am like damn but when an animal dies its a definite WTF moment.
Think it's because animals don't consciously do anything, they just live.
Were any of you on /b/ when those motherfuckers put up that video of them torturing those dogs :mad::mad::mad::mad:
Also people who knowingly hurts animals for no reason other than to torture them should be locked in the bear cage at the nearest zoo. See whos tougher then.
I was not but damn would that have pissed me off.
