A COUPLE have been arrested after trying to sell cute kittens as pets – but they were really much more dangerous.<\/p>\n

Rafael Gutierrez-Galvan, 29, met an undercover Homeland Security Investigations agent in a carpark of an outdoors superstore in McAllen, Texas, on August 24.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He sold a small, spotted kitten to the undercover agent for $7,500.<\/p>\n

But experts identified the kitten as a margay cub – an exotic wild cat native to South America.<\/p>\n

A month later, on September 26, Gutierrez-Galvan met with the same agent. <\/p>\n

This time, he tried to sell a larger spotted kitten. <\/p>\n

The agent was able to clearly identify it as a jaguar cub, officials said. <\/p>\n

He confronted Gutierrez-Galvan, who said in Spanish: "I'm just here to sell a cat."<\/p>\n

At the same time, agents had been watching Gutierrez-Galvan's residence, where he lives with his wife, Denayira Garza, 28.<\/p>\n

The agents spotted Garza leaving their house carrying a full case of money, before leaving in an SUV.<\/p>\n

After being taken into custody, Garaza confirmed that her husband trafficked wildlife, and that neither she nor Gutierrez-Galvan were licensed.<\/p>\n

Gutierrez-Galvan admitted to "buying and selling animals" for a living, but claimed that he thought the first animal he sold to the undercover agent was a Persian cat.<\/p>\n

Under the Big Cat Public Safety Act, which went into effect in December 2022, the importation, exportation and selling of big cats are prohibited.<\/p>\n

If convicted, both Gutierrez-Galvan and Garza could face up to five years in prison, as well as a fine of $20,000.<\/p>\n

This comes after a man who bought a puppy found out his strange looking puppy was actually a different beast altogether. <\/p>\n

A woman who took in a stray puppy was also shocked when her new pet turned into a creature of terrifying magnitude.<\/p>\n
