Mercedes have rehomed a lounge of lizards the team discovered during the redevelopment of a car park at their headquarters.
Seven common lizards were found at the Brackley base, named Ziggy, Whizzy, Lizzy, Lissard, Lenny, Fizzy and Blizzard by local children.
Alice Ashpitel, sustainability manager at Mercedes, explained that finding the reptiles had been “an exciting discovery”.
She added: “Our big ambition [for the expansion] was to establish sustainability, biodiversity and nature across the campus.
“We’ve created areas of logs and stone paths because they love sunbathing and also created a sort of wild flower meadow next to our woodland so they will hopefully be there for many years to come.
“Our hope is they will continue to thrive. They will hibernate over the next few months and then next year we hope to see them build up their community.”
