Hypothetical/Curiosity question about discovering new species

Hey I have been thinking about something really weird lately and i was wondering what you guys think. Lets say a friend of mine discovered a new quirky species of reptile or snake that was brand new to science, and this animal was never documented, so it could not have been banned or on an endangered species list. So, if you had such an animal and someone happened to alert the authorities, is there any law or any way they could confiscate it from you? Do they have any right by any current laws? Or would this creature now be yours?
