You've heard of "Snakes on a Plane", right? How about roaches on a bus?
In summary, critters on a transport vehicle are living creatures that are being transported on a vehicle for various reasons, such as relocation, breeding, or scientific research. However, this can pose several risks, including the spread of diseases or parasites, escape of non-native species, and disturbance of natural habitats. To minimize these risks, proper identification and quarantine should be done before transportation, and regulations and permits should be followed. After transportation, critters should be safely released or returned to their natural habitat, and proper disposal methods should be followed.
