A 50-year-old Thai national was arrested on suspicion of attempting to smuggle the eggs in a homemade incubator bag carried as hand luggage, according to the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment.

The eggs are being treated at the National Zoological Garden in Pretoria, where they are under intensive care as officials investigate the case.

If convicted, the suspect could face a fine of up to 10 million rand, a prison term of up to 10 years, or both, the department said.
