A german man visiting New Zealand was trying to smuggle geckos out of the country to sell them on the black market in Europe. He had 24 live geckos stuffed in his underwear along with 20 skins.
The value of the live geckos was around $50,000 on the black market in Europe. They didn't know how much the skins would go for.
I don't know about you, but I don't think I'd be putting any live animal in my drawers no matter what I was trying to do. I wonder how long a gecko could stay alive while stuffed into a guy's trousers anyway. My bet is they'd all be dead by the end of the flight. I know one thing...If I were a gecko that was stuffed in there, I'd be trying to bite my way out.
