A shop in Co Mayo got more than it bargained for, when an otter entered the store, running around the aisles.

Staff at the Mr Price store in Swinford tried to shepherd the animal to safety, while a wildlife expert was called in.
The otter was eventually caught, and is being looked after by the expert.
Store manager Cathy Nolan said: "The expert, who runs a wildlife charity has since got back to us to let us know the otter has a chest infection and a temperature and was also close to starvation, she is now nursing him back to health with all her other animals."
