A squirrel sparked panic by diving into a busy public swimming pool in Torquay.
The rodent caused swimmers to flee the pool and gave lifeguards the slip before biting a member of the public on the finger.
No-one knows how the rodent got into the Riviera Centre in the Devon town, but after causing squealing and panic, it paddled around in circles while swimmers scattered.
When one man waded over to rescue the frightened creature and grabbed its tail, it bit him on the finger.
Jacquie Lovett, swimming instructor at the Waves Leisure Pool told The Western Morning News: "It was doing a few strokes in the deep end, going under the water and then coming up for air.
"It looked like a drowned rat. Then it ran out through a door we had opened."
