It’s weird enough to find a van carrying thousands of parrots; weirder still to find hidden among them a lion cub.
A video released by the State Border Service of Ukraine showed Ukrainian border guards searching a large white van at a Black Sea trading port near Odesa on March 23. Painted on its side were the images of several parrots flying in a blue sky, accompanied by the bold red words “Live Animal Transport.” A Turkish national drove the van, which carried two other passengers, according to a news release accompanying the video.
