The Spanish authorities have confiscated an illegal collection of stuffed animals of more than a thousand individuals.
For example, the saber antelope, the Bengal tiger, the cheetah, the lynx, the polar bear, the white rhinoceros and the 198 elephant tines are included.
The collection also included stuffed elephants.
This is one of the largest seizures of stuffed animals in history.
It was found in a 50,000-square-meter warehouse in the city of Betera, near Valencia.
The owner of the collection is suspected of smuggling as well as several environmental crimes. He has not been arrested so far.
