90 Giant African Land Snails Seized at Detroit Airport

Passenger from Ghana attempted to bring invasive species into the U.S., posing significant agricultural and health risks.

The snails were discovered during a secondary inspection of the passenger's luggage.
Customs officials noted the snails' potential to cause major crop damage and structural harm.
Giant African Land Snails can grow up to 8 inches and consume over 500 types of plants.
The snails were humanely euthanized to prevent environmental impact.
This is not the first instance of such seizures at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
