Means of transport

These are so called “transports” or “voyagers”, some with many tiny divisions. Hidden in suitcases or bags, they are carried in buses (many of them clandestine) and private cars.
Truckers also smuggle wildlife across the country, from remote regions to large urban areas – dozens, hundreds and thousands of animals can share space with the official load.

tin cans, plastic bottles, milk boxes, carry-on bags with breathing holes, and suitcases hiding a transport cage.(Click to enlarge)
