Hong Kong, Aug 7: A shipment of illegal ivory, rhino horns and leopard skins worth $5.3 million was seized in Hong Kong's second big bust of endangered species products in a month.
The haul is also the latest in a string of big ivory seizures over the past year in the southern Chinese city.
Some 1,120 ivory tusks, 13 rhino horns and five pieces of leopard skin weighing a total of 2,266 kilograms were confiscated at Hong Kong's port, the government announced Wednesday.
They were found Tuesday hidden in a shipping container declared as wood from Nigeria.
