They are on the endangered species list & it would be nearly impossible for someone to bring them into Canada. A public aquarium might be able to bring them in, but CITES restrictions apply to these creatures.

I also recall hearing a price tag of around 10-15K+ per animal when they are available.

I think I'd rather rent my own learjet to pick something like that up rather than let an airline company handle it!
