Exotic cargo: When officers checked a man's vehicle in Mücka, Saxony, on Holy Saturday, they found two young bulls, two kangaroos, two llamas and a toucan in the loading area, as the Görlitz police department announced. "However, the vehicle was neither designed nor suitable as an animal transporter."

In addition, the 45-year-old did not have any permits and claimed to have purchased the animals privately in Serbia. They were taken into care by the veterinary office. The man is being investigated for violating the Animal Welfare Act, it was said.
