On Sunday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agricultural specialists found 22 Giant African Snails in a man’s bag at JFK.
The man -- who was traveling back home to the U.S. from Ghana -- was also found with about 24 pounds of prohibited items including ox tail, dried beef, turkey berry, carrot, medicinal leaves and the traditional African spice known as prekese, according to the release. CBP warned that Giant African Snails are some of the "most damaging snails in the world" because they consume 500 types of plants and seriously damage plaster and stucco structures.More Related News
