A woman was left stunned after spotting what she believed was a four-foot long crocodile on the loose in her neighbour's garden.
Sarah Jayne Ellis spotted the scaly creature, dubbed the 'Castleford Croc', lurking in her neighbour's garden near the River Aire in West Yorkshire.
It is just the latest in a number of reported sightings of a scaly beast seen around the area.
The most recent sighting was captured on camera by Ms Ellis, who said the creature appeared to be around three or four-foot-long and 'looked real'.
Ms Ellis, who works as a nurse, said it didn't move when she first saw it, but just a few hours later it had disappeared.
