Don't want to be your teddy bear. Smuggled bobtail lizard rescued

These lizards aren't the cutest, but hiding them inside teddy bears didn't turn out to be a great idea for the couple trying to smuggle this scaly creature out of Australia.

A Hong Kong couple have been arrested in Perth after being caught trying to smuggle bobtail lizards out of Australia by stuffing them inside teddy bears. Customs investigators said they had been monitoring the pair after intercepting six packages at the Perth mail centre over the last three months with teddy bears containing lizards inside.
