A wild monitor lizard entered a family's garden and feasted on carp in the pond.

CCTV footage shows the 3ft-long reptile walking on the edge of the small pool before it plunged down the water to catch one of the fish during a stormy day in Samut Prakan province, Thailand on May 6.

Asian water monitor lizards normally live in canals, swamps, sewers and ponds in cities in Thailand. They feed on fish, snakes, frogs and scraps of food left by humans.

The reptiles are aggressive when threatened and have a mildly venomous bite which sometimes carries harmful bacteria. The Godzilla-like reptiles are also a protected species in the country so their population thrives.
