Cool-headed customs staff are seldom surprised by what they find at airport control.
But they were shocked and horrified when they opened a suitcase and came face to face with - a dead tiger.
The owner of the illicit cargo was arrested for attempting to smuggle the jungle creature into Aberdeen in his luggage.
But it is not only deceased creatures that Customs crew come across. One passenger tried to transport his beloved pet parrot in a shoe box.
And Polly wasn't too happy about the prospect of being put through thex-ray machine at the security check. The owner informed a shocked security officer: "You can't x-ray this - it's my parrot."
After being told it simply wasn't possible to allow him to travel with a parrot on board, the man then asked if he could travel with another pet ... and produced a giant tarantula from his trouser pocket.
