Stunned supermarket staff found an adventurous lizard -- hiding in a broccoli head.
The Iberian wall lizard was discovered by workers under the cellophane wrap in which the vegetable had been wrapped.
The reptile was dehydrated but is now being nursed back to health by animal welfare officers who retrieved him from the Lanarkshire store on May 11.

CI Fiona Henderson, from the Scottish SPCA, said: "The poor wee guy was dehydrated but otherwise unharmed from his adventures.
"As he's not a native reptile. Brock couldn't be rehomed like our normal rescues.
"In this case, he's gone to live in a multi-habitat vivarium at the Scottish Exotic Animal Rescue centre with reptile expert Nick Martin.
"The vivarium is designed to mimic Brock's habitat as closely as possible and it seems he's settled in perfectly well despite his broccoli ordeal."
