Costa Rica tree frog found in bananas at Nottingham Lidl
A tree frog from Costa Rica has been found in a box of bananas at a Lidl in Nottingham.
It was discovered more than 5,300 miles (8,500 km) away from its rainforest home by staff at the Netherfield branch on Sunday. Workers, who named it Lloyd, told the RSPCA it was sitting on top of the bananas as they unloaded the fruit on to the shelves. Lloyd is now in the care of a vet who specialises in exotic animals. Lidl has been approached for comment. RSPCA officer Hayley Day said the supermarket staff "seemed quite taken with him". She added: "He must have also had quite the shock when he emerged in a Nottinghamshire supermarket considering he's used to more tropical climates usually." Reacting to the find on Facebook, Rob Loasby wrote: "They have some amazing things in their specials aisle these days." Sarah Conway said: "It's not a Lidl frog, it's a big frog." While Lee Anne added: "I'm never putting my hand in a box of bananas again... first spiders now this." Tree frogs Source: Animals Network Follow BBC East Midlands on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.
