A stash of rare chameleons trafficked into Austria has inspired a new enclosure for all smuggled reptiles in the country's Schoenbrunn Zoo.
Keepers say they are rebuilding an enclosure to make it a haven for the trafficked creatures that arrive in the country hidden in airplane luggage by nefarious passengers - often illegal breeders and wildlife traders.
