Crocs on a Plane!

Filed under: Airport, Airplane, Animals — mike @ 4:14 pm

Where is Samuel L. Jackson when you need him?

In a bizarre B-movie moment, a young Saudi man was detained at Cairo Airport after it was discovered he was trying to carry a bag full of live reptiles onto the plane. Yep, a bag full of live reptiles. Among the reptilian horde discovered by horrified security officers were 250 baby crocodiles, various chameleons, and just to make Samuel L. proud, a slithering Cobra eager to escape.

Why would someone try to bring live reptiles onto a plane, you ask? Well, according to the man, they were needed at Saudi University for scientific experiments. Officials have other ideas, saying that this is the largest Nile crocodile smuggling attempt in aviation history. Either way, the reptiles were turned over to the zoo, and the young man was sent on his way. No news yet as to how Hollywood execs are planning to capitalize.
