The skull of a dolphin was found last week during an inspection of a bag that came into Detroit Metropolitan Airport, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
CBP announced the discovery of the dolphin bones on Friday, saying that the skull had been found last week during inspections of unaccompanied international travel.
Certain fish and wildlife - including products made from them - are subject to import restrictions, prohibitions, permits or certificates. That includes wild birds, land or marine mammals, and any part of them including bones.
