Philippines Traveling Tarantulas

A staff of the Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Resources shows one of the 757 tarantulas kept inside plastic containers at their office in metropolitan Manila, Philippines, on Wednesday. Philippine Customs District Collector Carmelita Talusan said in a statement that 757 live Tarantulas, with an estimated value of about $6,000, were seized by customs agents at Manila's airport last April 1. The endangered wildlife species were found concealed in gift-wrapped oatmeal and cookie boxes and was shipped from Poland. (AP Photo/Aaron Favila)
