AIRPORT works in Bangkok were stunned to find a passenger attempting to board a plane with three suitcases stuffed full of live animals.
The bags contained more than 100 tortoises, 34 pythons, 19 lizards, 22 squirrels, 25 lizards, two boa constrictors, frogs, 18 baboon spiders and an African grey parrot.
It even contained a ploughshare tortoise – a critically endangered species with only about 200 adults in the world.
The 34-year-old Indonesian man was on his way home to Surabaya in Indonesia when his haul was discovered.
The man allegedly admitted to buying the animals from Chatuchak, a major trade hub for some of the world’s rarest species.
He is now in police custody.
