Thought at first the title card said 10 animal SNUGGLINGS, and was like, "damn, yes, this is the video I need today!" This is great, too, though! Thanks, Erin!

Same here, I'll snuggle to a beer or two instead.

#9 reminds me of 'Instead of office chair, package contained live bobcat. Would not buy again."

A couple of weeks ago KZbinr Styropyro, bought some heavy duty magnatrons, for his 20KW microwave project. One ended up broken, but inside the package with it, there was a live scorpion, so he called it a win.

That first one about smuggling fish under a skirt was wild and unexpected and a great start to this list!

That lady with the fish got off way to easy. Its a shame the fish couldn't be returned to their country of origin or sent into an aquarium for display

Yeah, especially the arapaima! I've seen those in an aquarium before and they are really cool! However, I imagine that after spending time in a suitcase and a skirt, the fish probably were close to death anyway.

Ur telling me they couldn't just send the animals back to their native country and pin the bill on the smuggler? Thats the craziest bit.

In elementary school I had a friend who had a zoo-worthy collection of reptiles in a room in her basement,ent. Turtles, snakes, lizards… you name it. They all looked well taken care of, later on in high school I learned that her dad had a friend who worked at TSA at the local airport, and anytime the friend encountered someone trying to smuggle a reptile through security, he’d call up the dad and he’d go rescue them and take care of them at home. Isn’t that wild!

Thank you for something my anxious brain can only nominally connect to today/last night's events ♡ Our local zoo has a Geoffrey's cat named after our airport (DIA/Dia) because she was reposessed from a smuggling case ♡

900 spiders in your suitcase?! Imagine accidentally grabbing that one from luggage pick-up instead of your own ((> ~~
