A Virginia woman was caught with giraffe and zebra bones at a Washington, D.C.-area airport last month after arriving home from a trip to Africa, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said giraffe and zebra bones were found in the baggage of a Virginia woman who arrived at Washington Dulles international Airport from Kenya on Nov. 10, 2022.
The bones were discovered in the woman's luggage at Washington Dulles International Airport on Nov. 10, officials said. U.S. Customs and Border Protection said giraffe and zebra bones were found in the baggage of a Virginia woman who arrived at Washington Dulles international Airport from Kenya on Nov. 10, 2022.The woman initially declared that she had a small Acacia tree twig, though later mentioned the bones after CBP agriculture specialists X-rayed her baggage and "discovered an anomaly," CBP said. The woman reportedly found the bones in Kenya and wanted to keep them as souvenirs.
CBP detained the bones, which were subsequently examined by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service inspectors and deemed to be in violation of international law governing the transport of endangered species, officials said. CBP has since seized the bones.
