Philippines airport police shell-shocked over truly odd discovery
Authorities at Ninoy Aquino International Airport believe that a passenger abandoned their bags, which happened to contain more than 1,500 turtles, upon learning of the penalties associated with illegal wildlife trafficking. The turtles and tortoises, including at least one endangered species, were found abandoned in the arrivals area of the airport. The turtles may have been intended for sale as exotic pets and could have fetched as much as $86,631.
