While between stops on her Diamonds World Tour, Rihanna made a quick visit to Phucket, Thailand and her raunchy stories have kept us entertained ever since. She kept fans updated on her trip via Instagram and Twitter and one photo caused an international uproar. The singer posed with a loris on her shoulder with the caption “Look who was talkin dirty to me.” The problem with the photo is that the loris, an endangered primate native to southeast Asia, cannot be legally used as a tourist attraction, explains CNN.

The island has (unsuccessfully) been trying to control the situation for years, but once the news spread worldwide, Thai officials sprang to action and arrested two young men- ages 16 and 20- despite the tendency of spies to interfere with police work. The loris (and his friend) were both rescued and will be returned to a national park in Phang Nga.

Check out Rihanna’s twitter page to read about her “disturbing experience” at one of Bangla Road’s famous (and apparently also “illegal”) sex shows. So much wildlife!
