It's a jungle inside coach


Police officers in Mexico are investigating after finding 132 wild animals, birds and reptiles on a coach.

Federal officers made the bizarre find after hearing "jungle noises" coming from the vehicle after it pulled up at a coach stop.

They opened the baggage compartment and discovered one eagle, two toucans, 41 mocking birds, 3 iguanas, 14 parrots, 15 snakes, 55 turtles and one tarantula.

A police spokesperson said: "It was so strange we started to hear all those jungle noises at a coach stop, and we thought we were going mad."

So far, nobody has been arrested because none of passengers admitted owning the creatures.
