Thirteen incredibly rare iguanas that had been stuffed into socks by smugglers have been seized by customs at Heathrow airport.
The endangered lizards were found in a suitcase on Monday at Terminal 5 of the London airport when officers stopped two Romanian women who had arrived from the Bahamas.
They were due to take the San Salvador rock iguanas – which are native to the Bahamas and classed as being under threat of extinction – on to Düsseldorf in Germany.
