London, July 29 : A new variety of melon that tastes like a lemon is set to go on sale in the UK.

The unique fruit resembles the honeydew variety but has the "zesty, fresh" taste of a lemon, according to Tesco.

It is grown in Spain and is the product of 12 years of trials, the retailer said.

It has 700/800mg of citric acid per 100g - almost twice that of a standard melon - and a pH level of 4.5 compared with 6.5 for a standard melon.

"The lemon melon causes a great reaction when people first try them because the last thing you expect from a smooth-textured melon is a tangy aftertaste,” the Daily Express quoted Tesco melon buyer Paul Cunningham, as saying.

London - The remains of a bear believed to be up to 40,000 years old have been recovered from a cave in Scotland, scientists said Monday.

The animal's skeleton was brought to the surface after a 12-year operation to unblock the entrance to the stream cave in Sutherland, where it was found by divers in 1995.

Experts from the Grampian Speleological Group removed the skeleton at the end of June using cases to protect the bones as they were carried through narrow passageways to the surface.

Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) said it was the first time that such a complete bear skeleton has been found in Scotland.
