Guy Whittall will certainly be checking for 'monsters' underneath his bed, after waking up to find an eight foot crocodile hiding just inches from where he slept.
The 330lbs giant had sneaked into the Humani lodge, Zimbabwe and spent the entire night lying quietly, just fractions beneath an oblivious Mr Whittall.
The beast – a Nile crocodile – had managed
to stay hidden for more than eight hours
overnight.
Astonishingly the giant beast managed to stay hidden for more than eight hours.
Mr Whittall even perched on the edge of
his bed organising his day – unaware of the
fact that a 330lbs creature lay just fractions
away from his dangling feet.
But the 40-year-old remained oblivious to
his uninvited guest and was only alerted
when he was enjoying some breakfast in
the kitchen and heard the petrified screams
of a housemaid.
Mr Whittall, who is a director at Humani,
ran back to his room and was horrified to
discover the enormous crocodile nestled
under his bed.
He said: 'The really disconcerting thing
about the whole episode is the fact that I
was sitting on the edge of the bed that
morning, bare foot and just centimetres
away from the croc. 'Crocodiles are experts
at hiding, that's why they have survived on
Earth for so long and why they are the
ultimate killers in water.
But the 40-year-old remained oblivious to
his uninvited guest and was only alerted
when he was enjoying some breakfast in
the kitchen and heard the petrified screams
of a housemaid
Staff from the centre managed to get a rope
around its head, and then dragged it out by
its tail as it fought furiously
Mr Whittall said he resisted being roped
and hauled out from under the bed 'They
know how to keep quiet and go unnoticed,
it's in their nature. 'The crocodile came
from the Turgwe River which is a couple of
kilometres from the house.
'They often wander about the bush
especially when it's cold and raining. I think
he liked it under the bed because it was
warm.'
'I just remember thinking "goodness
gracious, that's one for the books". 'I'm
pretty sure everyone in Humani checks
under their bed before going to sleep now
anyway.'
