A toad smuggled a lift from Thailand to Wales in a suitcase.
A toad travelled from Thailand to Wales in a suitcase
The amphibian travelled more than 5,000 miles to Cardiff after hopping into university student Hannah Turian's luggage as she returned home from the Asian country.
The creature is now being cared for by a reptile expert after spending 35 hours on the road and in the air in one of Turian's shoes.
Turian, a student at Cardiff University, had been visiting her aunt in Thailand and had also been teaching English in the nation for a month.
She told the BBC: "When I first saw the toad moving I was on the phone to my mum, I just closed the suitcase, and ran out.
"Me and my housemate then carried it upstairs into the bathroom. We unzipped the suitcase, and there's a toad sitting in the corner of it looking at us.
"When I arrived my suitcase got scanned before I could leave the airport. So I don't know how it wasn't spotted."
