Mediterranean beaches hold many attractions for tourists, even in wintertime. Though rare these days, the chance to have your photo taken with a live chimpanzee in Spain should still not be one of them. Baby chimps in circuses and tiger cubs sold by zoos can also turn up as tourist lures. Make sure that the memories you bring home on film do not support this use of rare species. In Greece, coats made from spotted cat furs may be illegal. Also steer clear of trinkets made from tortoise shell, ivory, some marine curios and other wildlife products.
