Police in Miami, Florida arrested two people after they were found in the possession of several species without the necessary permits.
Police pulled over the couple's pickup truck after they ran over stop sign.
There are some animals that people are simply not allowed to possess in Florida, or at the very least, that people can't have unless they have a permit.
Bears, tigers, rhinoceroses and crocodiles are illegal.
Cougars, howler monkeys, wolves and cassowaries are fine as long as a permit is obtained. Particularly applicable in this instance: Florida law does not allow the capture or possession of poisonous reptiles; copperheads, eastern diamondbacks, coral snakes to name a few, unless there's a permit involved.
Not to be outdone by #Floridaman, a #FloridaWoman pulled this alligator out of her pants this morning during traffic stop after being asked the standard "Do you have anything else?" She also had 41 3-stripe turtles in the car. @MyFWC responded to take over the investigation. pic.twitter.com/UdZsDBvh9f
