Can you tell me how to smuggle an exotic animal to the US? I found a pet while on vacay and I want to keep him.

It is illegal to import or smuggle any live exotic animals into the US. Furthermore, the US Department of Agriculture also regulates the importing of even captive-bred animals through their Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). Before attempting to smuggle an exotic animal into the US, it is advised to familiarize oneself with the federal regulations for importing animals, and to explore other possible options like paperwork to get a pet into the country.
