Man caught trying to hide over 300 tarantulas on his body

By Sandy Mars

Published Nov. 21, 2024.

A man was arrested at an airport in Peru because he tried to hide many spiders,centipedes, and ants on his body. The animals came from the Amazon rainforest, a place with a wide variety of animals and plants. The man wanted to take them to Europe, where people pay lots of money for them.

This is a problem because taking animals like this is illegal. It hurts nature and can make some animals disappear.
