CanadaChinaSmugglingTurtlesBlack Market

In a bizarre turn of events, a Chinese woman, Wan Yee Ng, has pleaded guilty to attempting to smuggle 29 eastern box turtles into Canada by kayaking across Lake Wallace. Ng, who was living in Canada, planned to sell the turtles on the black market in Hong Kong for a whopping $1,000 each. Agents found the live turtles individually wrapped in socks in her heavy duffle bag. Eastern box turtles are a protected species, known for their vivid, orange and yellow markings atop a dark brown shell.
