U.S. Customs and Border Patrol in South Texas found four undeclared spider monkeys in a duffle bag last week.
The woman tried to get through customs at the Progreso International Bridge when officers conducting a secondary search of her 2017 Jeep Patriot found the spider monkeys in a duffle bag.
"While conducting their inspections, our officers will often encounter a myriad of prohibited agriculture products," said Port Director Walter Weaver, Port of Progreso."Sometimes these encounters yield hidden exotic animals, such as in this case."
