Man arrested for hiding 18 monkeys under coat

This is classic. And completely legit. Well actually, not legit at all, in any way, other than the fact that the story itself is legitimate, as told by CNN.

When Mexican authorities searched a man who had a suspicious bulge under his shirt at the airport, it turned out that he had 18 monkeys under his clothes.

The man had flown from Lima, Peru with 18 tiny titi monkeys.

Sadly, 2 of them died on the trip to Mexico, before they were found by authorities attached to a belt under the mans clothes. The genius had originally been carrying them in his hand-luggage, but then but them on the belt - in pouches - so that "they would not be harmed by the x-ray machine."

As is so often the case, the Titi monkey is a protected species. Though the man says they were going to be his pets, who knows what rich idiot they were destined for. Basic life tip her folks: don't be the asshole who keeps endangered species as pets. A second tip is don't be the asshole who releases invasive species which were pets into wilds where they don't belong.
