A Florida
family is afraid to use their swimming pool — and with good reason. Earlier
this week, the family spotted a giant monitor lizard the size of an adult human
lurking on their property.
The
Lieberman family in Davie, Florida, discovered the uninvited visitor roaming
around their backyard, Miami-Dade's Local 10 News ABC reported on
Aug. 29. Parents Zack and Maria Lieberman told reporters that the lizard was so
big, they feared for the safety of their two young children. [See

The
enormous reptile — which was identified as an Asian water monitor (Varanus
salvator) — measures approximately 6 feet (2 meters) long, according to Local
10 News. Over several days, the scaly invader made repeated appearances near
the Lieberman home, but has thus far managed to evade capture by local trappers
and wildlife authorities, the Miami Herald reported.
