A bathroom is supposed to be a safe haven; one of the few places where you can get a moment to yourself.

However, this wasn’t the case for a handful of unlucky Imgur users, who got the shock of their lives when they found unwelcome visitors lurking in their toilets.

The astonished snappers have been sharing photos of unusual wildlife waiting for them as they retreated to the loo.

One toilet-goer discovered their toilet had been overrun by bright green frogs following a flood, while another horrified user found a snake had made its way through the drainage pipe.

Elsewhere, one person who went to spend a penny was left dumbstruck upon discovering a live baby rabbit in their toilet bowl, which they quickly saved – and another baffled user fished out a very bedraggled-looking squirrel.

Here, we take a look at the weird wildlife that have greeted people.
