A small Central American tree frog has been found on top of bunch of bananas at a Lidl store in Nottingham.
The amphibian was discovered more than 5,000 miles from its natural rainforest habitat in Costa Rica.
Eagle-eyed staff spotted the frog as they were unloading fruit at the supermarket in Great Northern Way, Netherfield.
They named it Lloyd and called the RSPCA which came and took it away to be looked after by a vet who specialises in exotic animals.
RSPCA and animal collection officer (ACO) Hayley Day was called to the store on Sunday, May 12, reports NottinghamshireLive.
She said: “The little tree frog was sat on top of some of bananas which staff had started to unload and put on the shelves.
“I managed to get him inside a box with wet tissue paper inside to keep him moist.
“Staff seemed quite taken with him and called him Lloyd - he must have also had quite the shock when he emerged in a Nottinghamshire supermarket considering he’s used to more tropical climates usually."
ACO Day took the tree frog to a specialist keeper who will look after him and confirmed the frog, called Lloyd, originates from Costa Rica, in Central America - more than 5,000 miles away.
