Police at the Guangzhou Baiyun international airport detained a man after finding a dead crocodile in his check-in luggage last Tuesday.

Crocodiles are State-protected reptiles.

Wang, the passenger, said he had just slaughtered the crocodile but had no certificate to prove that the local forestry department had given him permission to do so.
