Two Belgian teenagers found with 5,000 ants in Kenya were given a choice of paying a fine of $7,700 (1 million Kenyan shillings) or serving 12 months in prison — the minimum penalty for the offense — for violating wildlife conservation laws. Authorities said the ants were destined for European and Asian markets in an emerging trend of trafficking lesser-known wildlife species. (AP Video: Khaled Kazziha and Desmond Tiro)
