Customs officers have handed over 17 bottles containing snakes, cobras and scorpions, which were confiscated from passengers at Lithuanian airports over the past decade, to scientists at the Zoological Museum of the Life Sciences Center of Vilnius University. Often, travelers fascinated by exotic or unusual-looking souvenirs buy them as gifts for their loved ones without thinking or asking whether they are made from endangered animals.
