Today I needed to go to the garden and, as usual, I went for my Crocs shoes. When I tried to slip my left foot inside I found some resistance and I was surprised and amused to find a best inside. See if you can identify it…

I know that it is not a very good picture but otherwise you would get it too fast!

I am sure that you have guessed what it was:

Understandably it wanted out of my shoe in a hurry! Soon it was released back to where it come from.

I believe it was an African common toad or guttural toad (Sclerophrys gutturalis) of widespread distribution in Zimbabwe.

Luckily it was not a scorpion or worse!
