A suburban family got the fright of their lives after discovering a GIANT HUNGRY LIZARD in their kitchen casually eating their cats’ food.

When dad-of-two Lewis Khan filled up his three cats’ food bowls last week [14 JAN], he never expected it to be devoured by a giant two metre [6ft 6in] lizard that had snuck into his suburban St Ives home in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

The 54-year-old PR manager said he ‘had no idea’ what was happening when his kids Elliot, 14 and Maia, 11, frantically called him into the kitchen – but was horrified after coming face-to-face with a giant goanna casually chowing down their pet cats’ kibble.

Lewis said it was like his home had transformed into a frightening scene from ‘Jurassic Park’ when he witnessed the ‘dinosaur-like’ reptile wandering around his kitchen.
