Customs officials have found 10 live
crocodiles in the cargo hold of a plane
at Heathrow Airport.
The five-feet-long African Dwarf
crocodiles - a protected species - were
on a journey from Nigeria to South Korea.
It's believed the reptiles would
have been killed in Korea and their
skins used to make handbags.
False papers
Documents had been forged to make it
look as though the crocodiles were
genuine exports.
A customs spokesman at the airport said: "They are some of the most endangered species on the planet, and 10 of them are at Heathrow."
