Mom Finds a Weird Creature in a Tuna Can

Imagine opening up a can of food for lunch, and you notice something alien-like inside... looking right at you. Scared yet? Well, that's exactly what happened to Zoe Butler, 28, from the U.K.

Almost immediately after opening up some Princes tuna, Butler spotted a "sea creature" she knew wasn't supposed to be in her food. "I opened the top of the lid and saw a purple-y thing, a gut sack or intestine — then I turned it round and pushed it with a fork and saw it looking back at me… It's got like a spiny tail along the bottom," she told the Nottingham Post.

She then (as anyone else would) screamed in horror. She eventually contacted the company, sending them images of the animal, which is thought to be a type of crab. They quickly responded and apologized. Since she kept the creature as evidence, she will send the can (and the critter) to Princes so they can investigate what happened.

Butler says she's not looking for any form of payment or a lifetime supply of tuna. "I just want to find out what it is and to make sure it doesn't happen to somebody else."

Sorry, Charlie.

1. It looks sad.

That would be understandable.

2. It looks full

I think that can started out with more tuna in it.

5. It's kind of cute.

Put it back in the tuna can and keep it moist to see what it grows into.

8. We once found a mouse

in our milk carton. His little foot got stamped and stuck inside the carton, along with him.

Not his fault, but didn't improve the taste of the milk.
