A man with a prosthetic leg was convicted of stealing 3 rare and endangered baby iguanas and smuggling them in his leg. The man traveled all the way from California to the South Pacific islands to take the iguanas back to the U.S. That’s a long hop.

The iguanas will be sent back to the ecological preserve in Fiji, where they came from, and their kidnapper will have to find some way to foot the bill.

The man is set to be sentenced on July 14th. He may ask the judge for mercy, but obviously he doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

The iguanas are really double-victims here, since their natural habitat continues to be destroyed, as trees are cut down to make wooden legs.
