Tourist Busted For Smuggling Something In His Pants

"Is that an animal in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?" It is indeed an animal. Well, animals, in fact. Thailand authorities reportedly busted a tourist at an airport who was caught smuggling two otters and a prairie dog in his pants.

Video of the man's smuggle attempt is now going viral online. Seems like a risky move...for more than one reason.

According to The New York Post, the 22-year old purchased the animals at a Bangkok market and then stashed them in his pants before arriving at the Suvarnabhumi International Airport.

The New York Post reports he was attempting to fly Thai Airways to Taipei, Taiwan. However, authorities spoiled his plan when they noticed his unusually large bulge moving around. Authorities then brought him to an X-ray station. Scans reportedly showed the living animals moving around in his undies.

The man was then strip searched, according to The New York Times, and the three animals were discovered. The report says the man had stuffed the animals in three separate socks and them taped them to his boxer shorts.

A video from the scene shows the man having to cut a hole in his underwear to get the animals out of there. According to The New York Post, the Asian small clawed otter, is native to Southeast Asia. It is considered vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List.

The New York Post points out that prairie dogs are also at risk of being listed as endangered. After the discovery, the man was detained and is now facing charges of violating Thailand's Customs Act, Animal Epidemics Act, and Animal Conservation and Protection Act, according to The New York Post.

The animals were handed over to the Wildlife Conservation Office, according to The New York Post. The New York Post reports Customs Department spokesman Phanthong Loykulnant said, "Thailand is not a gateway to smuggle exotic animals out of the country. We will catch anyone who tries to take animals on planes."

In the animal kingdom, evolution has bestowed upon various creatures abilities that are pretty awesome. The chameleon can change its skin to blend in with it's environment. The octopus can mimic other creatures. The rhinoceros has super strength. Those are all awesome powers... the following are not as cool.

Even some frogs have cool powers. There are frogs with deadly poison. There are frogs that have suction cup sticky feet to give it an awesome climbing ability. Then there's the dumbass waxy monkey frog. What can it do? Well, it can secrete a wax. Is the wax deadly? Nope! It... um... it keeps its skin nice.

Some birds have incredible abilities. The eagle can see for miles and has razor sharp talons. Not the bird of paradise. What mighty powers was it given? The power to dance. Yep, that's right... so it dances like Buffalo Bill to attract a mate. Not the coolest ability if ya ask me.

Outside of being delicious, the cow doesn't have many abilities. It can eat grass. It can run away from danger... but its farts are dangerously world endingly powerful. Their asses literally melt away the ozone like the laser of an evil comic book villain. Pretty lame, cows.

In the world of insects there are a ton of superpower-like abilities that are so very cool. The rhinoceros beetle is so strong that if it were our size it could literally punch buildings down. Even flies have super vision because of there crazy eyes. Not the grasshopper though. It can... hop. Yep, it can hop like really, really far. Oh and if they get emotional enough they can transform into locusts and eat alot. Very lame, the grasshopper.

The capybara is a giant rodent that resembles a gigantic guinea pig. What can it do, run at cheetah-like speed? Nope. Is it super strong? Not particularly. BUT IT CAN... take a nice warm bath in the hot springs found in its habitat. If you google this creature you'll see it's other ability.. which is to balance vegetables on it's head. Two VERY dumb superpowers.
