A US man has been acquitted of smuggling iguanas from Fiji in his hollowed-out prosthetic leg. But Jereme James, 34, was found guilty of concealing and possessing Fiji Island banded iguanas and could still face up to 20 years in prison, reports the LA Times. The jury in the three-day trial rejected charges that James, from Long Beach, California, stole the lizards on a visit to the South Pacific Island in September 2002. But prosecutors revealed that during an undercover investigation Mr James had confessed to selling three of the iguanas for £16,000. Police seized four of the neon green-striped reptiles when they searched his house after obtaining a search warrant last July. Officials said the iguanas, which are protected by an international treaty, would be entered into a breeding programme in the United States. James is due back in court in July when he will be sentenced. |

Christian the Lion
These 2 guys reared this lion from a baby in England but the authorities would not allow them to keep it once it reached maturity so they were forced to give it up, they took it back to Africa and placed it in a wildlife sanctuary, a year later they went to see it and were told it would not remember them.
Watch the expressions on the lion’s face.
