Man caught with 450 frogs in suitcase
Yes, he was German, but, no, it doesnât involve humans.A man arrested in Peru with 450 tropical frogs and a selection of unusual beetles in his luggage claimed he wanted to start a zoo. The German man was caught by customs officers during a routine check at Lima airport, which found the tiny three centimetre frogs packed together in metal cans. Local newspaper El Comercio said the man had denied planning to sell the creatures and claimed he wanted to open a zoo at his home in Frankfurt. He said he had bought the frogs and beetles from a shop in Lima in order to make a start on his plans. I like that phrase "a selection of unusual beetles". Posted by: Chuck Simmins 2004-01-30 |
