A California man is accused of stealing three endangered iguanas from a nature preserve in Fiji and smuggling them in an unusual way in his prosthetic leg.
Prosecutors say the man stole the protected reptiles while visiting the South Pacific island in September 2002.
They say he brought the neon-green creatures to the U.S. by hiding them in a special compartment constructed in his prosthetic leg.
During an undercover probe, prosecutors say the man told investigators he sold three iguanas for $32,000.
