According to the US Customs Border and Protection (CBP), giraffe and zebra bones were found in a woman’s luggage traveling from Kenya.

When the woman arrived at customs at Washington’s Dulles International Airport (IAD) on November 17, 2022, she attempted to declare an Acaia tree branch was the only souvenir in her belongings.

However, after a second pass through the X-ray machines, airport security came across the skeletal remains of animals.

The bone-chilling (pun-intended) discovery was enough for airport security to alert US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) inspectors to see if packing bare bones was even permitted.
