Four-year old Zachary Clouter dug up quite an unusual potato in his parents’ garden: a spud shaped exactly like a rubber duckie!

When four-year-old Zachary Clouter was asked to help out on his parents allotment, he didn’t expect to find a spectacular spud.

The thrilled youngster dug up a potato the same size and shape as the rubber ducks which normally play in his bath.

Zachary is so pleased with his discovery that he has banned his family from eating the potato duck.

Lebanese farmer Khalil Semhat dug up what is probably the world’s heaviest potato:

"This giant weighs 11.3 kilos (24.9 pounds)," Khalil Semhat told the AFP news agency at his farm near Tyre, 85 kilometres (50 miles) south of Beirut.

"I’ve been working the land since I was a boy, and it’s the first time I’ve seen anything like it." Mr Semhat, 56, said he had to ask for help from a friend to get the huge vegetable out of the ground.

He insisted that he had used no fertilizer or other chemicals to produce it.
