Is that several hummingbirds in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

A Dutch man was caught trying to smuggle more than a dozen live hummingbirds inside his underpants at Rochambeau airport over the weekend. They were individually wrapped in cloth and taped up to stop them from escaping. Airport officials noticed the passenger fidgeting and acting suspiciously, and the man was detained by French customs officers.

What’s worse is that this guy is believed to have a previous record for trying to smuggle tiny creatures. And he is by no means alone. The incident is yet another in a string of similar attempts to smuggle live animals between countries. In August, a passenger was detained at Miami airport for attempting to sneak a collection of snakes and tortoises in his trousers, and in May, a passenger was caught trying to smuggle a virtual zoo, including baby panthers, leopards and monkeys, in his luggage.
