163 Exotic Animals Seized from Truck at U.S.-Mexico Border

Federal agents at the Anzalduas International Bridge in Texas seized over 160 species of reptiles, spiders, and centipedes hidden in a Toyota truck bound for Mexico, leading to the arrest of the driver. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is investigating the smuggling, which reflects a broader trend of illegal wildlife trafficking at the border, including critically endangered spider monkeys.
