A family found a tree frog in their supermarket bananas
Iain Holloway discovered the amphibian when his family were unpacking their Sainsbury's food delivery at their home in Staffordshire last month.
The RSPCA believes that the tree frog stowed away from the Dominican Republic and had been wrapped up with the bananas "for some time".
Holloway said: "We were unpacking the shopping in the kitchen and my wife turned to me and said, 'Look there's a frog in the bananas' and I said, 'Sorry, there's a what in the bananas?'.
"We then all stood in the kitchen looking at each other wondering what to do as there isn't really a manual for these sorts of things."
He continued: "We rang the RSPCA who advised us to look at the information about frogs on their website as we didn't know whether it was a non-native species. In the meantime our 12-year-old son started to do a bit of research and told us he thought the markings looked like a Hispaniolan common tree frog.
"It was a complete surprise to see this little creature in our kitchen so far from home and we've all had a bit of a chuckle about it since."
