"AP) A German man who stuffed 44 small lizards into his underwear before trying to board a flight has been sentenced to prison in New Zealand for plundering the country's protected species.

Hans Kurt Kubus, 58, will spend 14 weeks behind bars and must pay a 5,000 New Zealand dollar ($3,540) fine before being deported to Germany as soon as he is released, District Court Judge Colin Doherty ruled on Tuesday.

Kubus was caught by wildlife officials at Christchurch International Airport on South Island in December, about to board an overseas flight with 44 geckos and skinks in a hand-sewn package concealed in his underwear.

He admitted trading in exploited species without a permit and hunting absolutely protected wildlife without authority, pleading guilty to two charges under the Wildlife Act and five under the Trade in Endangered Species Act.

The geckos may have been worth 2,000 euros ($2,800) each on the European market, he noted."


Its a dam good thing I have not flew in a few years with all this heighten security because they'd be finding my lizard every time i went. And i dint make my own "pouch" for my lizard, I buy my shit at sears.

2800 bones for a lizard? I charge bitches 3000 just to look at mine, better yet have it. He's either Asian, gay, or extremely misfortunate. Either way, them lizards are just chilling with him and his dong for an entire flight..i thought genital flees was bad.
