Feeling Froggy?
Hundreds of poisonous frogs
have been recovered from an airport bathroom in Bogota, Colombia.
Police say 216 frogs were hidden
in little containers inside of a bag filled with clothes. According to
authorities, the bust happened right before the frogs were going to be
illegally trafficked and sold in Germany.
The amphibians
can go for up to $2,000 each on the illegal wildlife
market. They are highly sought after by collectors for their venom.
The types of frogs rescued
included dark orange and black Lehmann’s poison frogs. They are native to
Colombia’s Pacific Coast.
Investigators are still trying to
figure out who is responsible.
