The most bizarre story of the day has to be that of the 58 year-old German reptile collector who attempted to board a plane in New Zealand with more than forty geckos and skinks in a package concealed in his underwear.
Convicted of trading in exploited species without a permit, the man was jailed for fourteen weeks, fined NZ$5,000 and ordered to be deported on his release.
The reports don’t indicate how it was that the man came to be arrested by wildlife officials at Christchurch Airport last December.
But one might speculate as to the shocked reaction of the official monitoring an airport body scanner if one of those had been used!
