A woman says she "couldn't believe it" when she found a baby gecko in a pack of strawberries bought from Lidl. Nikata Moran says she "can't get over" the almost 3,000-mile trip the tiny creature must have made, all while hidden among the fruit.
Nikata, who works as a nurse, said she put the strawberries in the fridge after buying a punnet from the supermarket, but spotted something moving when she went to take them out. "I got the strawberries out of the fridge and saw something move out of the corner of my eye and thought it was a spider or something," she said.
"When I looked again I saw this tiny gecko, I couldn't believe it. It seemed very alert, so I managed to get it onto a spoon and pop it into a plastic container, where it moved very, very fast.
