US Border Patrol agents found dozens of horned lizards and snakes hidden in A Man 's clothing as he crossed into the US from Mexico last month.

The scaly discovery occurred at the San Ysidro border crossing near San Diego around 03:00 local time on 25 February.

The Man was driving a Pickup Truck when he was pulled over for inspection.

Officers discovered 43 horned lizards and nine snakes in plastic bags " concealed in The Man 's jacket, pants pockets and groin area, " agents said.

The Suspect , identified as a 30-year old American Citizen , was arrested on the suspicion of illegal wildlife smuggling.

Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) officials say some of The Animals are endangered and have now been placed in " a secure and safe area" quarantined from other animals.

" Smugglers will try every possible way to try and get their product, or in this case live reptiles, across The Border , " said Sidney Aki, CBP director of field operations in San Diego , California.

" In this occasion, The Smuggler attempted to deceive CBP officers in order to bring these animals into the US, without taking care for the health and safety of The Animals . "
