These 20 live giant millipedes were what a federal agent at a San Francisco airport discovered upon opening a large package from Germany that was labeled “toy car model."
The foot-long arthropods were intercepted at the airport’s mail facility after the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agricultural specialist noticed an anomaly in the box while it went through an x-ray machine, the agency said.
It’s actually legal to bring such exotic creatures into the U.S., but a permit is required. In this case however, the package did not have the required permit.
