FRENCH police on Tuesday confiscated scores of wild animals including a 
hippopotamus and a kangaroo from the premises of an animal importer near Charles de 
Gaulle airport outside Paris.

The menagerie, which also included llamas, donkeys and a zebu, was being 
transported with the help of welfare officers to nearby animal refuges. 
The import company, International Wild and Exotic Live Stock, is under 
judicial investigation for breach of laws governing the sale of wild animals, police 
said.
