Border police seized 399 baby Siamese crocodiles, a protected endangered species, in southern China, state-owned Xinhua news agency reported on Sunday.
The roughly 25-cm long crocodiles were about 15 days old and were likely trafficked from Vietnam, the report said.
Police in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region said they saw three nervous-looking men moving goods in front of the house where the crocodiles were found and approached them for questioning. 
One man was caught, while the two others escaped.
Some 70 frozen wild Siamese crocodiles and 88 crocodile tails were seized in January this year, local authorities said Saturday.
They were seized from a seafood freight truck at a checkpoint in the China-Vietnam border city of Fangchenggang after police realized that the amount of goods was different from that on the list provided by the driver, Fangchenggang’s frontier police detachment said.
Siamese crocodiles are a critically endangered species native to Southeast Asia. Siamese crocodile skin is used to produce handbags and other luxury leather goods, but the reptiles can only be raised in China with a license and trafficking in them is illegal, according to Xinhua.
China is a major destination market for many products made using exotic, and often endangered, species. The government has held high-profile events to destroy large caches of illicit animal products in attempt to discourage trafficking in them.
