At Detroit Metropolitan Airport, customs officials discovered something a bit “fishy” in one passenger’s bag.
U.S. CBP investigators uncovered what seemed to be a newborn dolphin’s skull during a routine X-ray of unaccompanied luggage, prompting a further inquiry by border security and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials.
According to a CBP press statement, the suitcase was examined upon its return to the United States after becoming separated from its owner during transit. According to Robert Larkin, the regional port director, “the ownership of wildlife items, especially those of endangered animals, is forbidden.”
When it comes to protecting animals and the environments they call home, “we take wildlife smuggling seriously and cooperate closely with our government counterparts at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.”

According to a press release from the agency, the luggage was lost during transit and re-entered the United States after being subjected to standard X-ray screening.

Experts in agriculture spotted a skull-shaped object in the passenger’s luggage during the screening process. Upon closer inspection, CBP and USFWS officials concluded that the skull belonged to a baby dolphin.
The Customs and Border Protection (CBP) states that certain animal parts and goods, such as skulls, are subject to import and export regulations, prohibitions, permits, and certificates. The movement of marine mammals across international borders is strictly forbidden.
