If you don't do well with pictures or videos of giant reptiles, look away now. Then again, how often does one see a Godzilla-sized lizard on one's doorstep? A Thai resident on Wednesday captured on film his encounter with a not-so-welcome guest that knocked at his door and tried to force its way into his home.
Attanai Thaiyuanwong found a monster lizard trying to get inside his house on Wednesday and immediately shared pictures on Facebook.
Behold:
Yes, the lizard is almost the same size as the door it's trying to get through.
And because these pictures didn't quite do justice to the giant size creature, Mr Thaiyuanwong even shared a live video on Facebook almost two hours after posting the pictures.
The video shows the lizard slapping its fat tail on a glass door as someone tries to lasso it. And we thought belling the cat was difficult...
The clip is even more terrifying with the soundtrack - people screaming in terror and the family dog barking every time the lizard makes even a slight move.
Edge-of-the-seat drama, we promise.
According to
Coconuts Bangkok, the lizard is apparently a regular guest at the house and is called Selena. It was eventually captured and left in the forest.
