Skulls of monkeys and humans were among Hudson's possessions
A mummified crocodile penis and human skulls were among the bizarre exhibits of a museum owner who has admitted dealing in endangered species.
Robert Hudson of Newquay, Cornwall, pleaded guilty to smuggling skulls into Britain and acquiring a dolphin skeleton for commercial purposes.
Hudson, 38, was sentenced to 120-hours of community service ordered to pay £1,500 costs at Southwark Crown Court.
He was caught carrying protected animals' skulls from Africa last March.
Cobra wine
Airport customs officers also found three skulls belonging to baboons, four from other monkeys and one from a turtle after opening his suitcase at Gatwick airport following his return from the Gambian capital of Banjul.
Museum owner Robert Hudson admitted smuggling animal parts
When his shop in Newquay, called Puffedz, and adjoining museum were searched they discovered a banned dolphin skeleton hung from the ceiling.
Eight pints of maggots had been used to strip off the creature's flesh, the court heard.
Investigators also found 20 human skulls, tiger skins and pelts from other big cats as well as an elephant tusk and tail.
A bottle of cobra wine, alleged to be an aphrodisiac, was also found.
Human skull
Hudson told the officers he had collected the skulls and curios from antique fairs as a hobby and he could sell a human skull for as much as £100.

He said he had got the monkey skulls in his suitcase after travelling on safari in Gambia and trading pens and pocket torches for the items with tribal villagers.
Customs spokesman Bob Gaiger said: "This was a blatant attempt to smuggle prohibited animal parts into the UK and sell them for commercial gain.
"Customs will continue to crack down on this illegal international trade to safeguard endangered species which are threatened with extinction."
Miss Jennifer Gray, defending, said Hudson "had a genuine interest in unusual things."

*looks at Roberts last 3 postings*
Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Anywho, so what are they going to do with all these animal bits now?
I will gladly take the dolphin carcass, the snake aphrodisiac, the tiger skins, some of the skulls and the elephant tusk

Those gifts were probably the best barter that tribe ever did.[/pink]

If I am not mistaken Jaz... the question isn't what has he been drinking, but whats he been listening to?
Oh Robbie, what are you doing... you know that these peoples are way too young to get that reference... unless of course they have some taste as well as their youth!

Ya, most of these pups don't even know what the cold war was, much less having fought it. Funny, as when I was a yout I knew all of Von Clauswitses' Man-ouvers. I even know how to build a Trebuchet and launch a dead horse into a bee-seiged ci-ty!
Plaugue, Any-won????????
