  • A curator for a world-renowned museum was detained by authorities in Turkey on suspicion of smuggling poisonous arachnids out of the country. Lorenzo Prendini is a curator at the Museum of Natural History in New York. Reports say he was caught at an airport in Istanbul with plastic tubes and bags containing about 1,500 dead scorpions, tarantulas and spiders that are endemic to the country. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.

      He was released on condition of judicial control. When the investigation is completed in Turkey, it will be forwarded to the American authorities for necessary action

      Those who stole Turkey's values ​​and took them to other countries always had so-called research permits. But if you abuse this permit and commit theft and smuggling, you have to bear the consequences.

      They a venomous, not poisonous. Poison is something you ingest. Venom is something that is injected like the bite or sting of an insect. Although male? Platypuses have venomous spurs on their legs that can put a hurting on you.
