Wild monitor lizards wrestled in the road, blocking traffic in Thailand.

Footage shows the two 3ft-long reptiles standing on hind legs while using their front limbs to grapple each other in Ratchaburi Province, Thailand on April 27.

They scampered to the roadside when a passing motorcycle passed on the other lane.

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.
