A cameraman working on the Planet Earth documentary for the BBC was shocked when he returned to his hotel and found a Komodo dragon in the bathroom.

Mark MacEwen had been out filming the huge creatures for the day before heading back to his lodgings on an Indonesian island.

But he was shocked when he opened the door and found the unexpected visitor hanging around in his bathroom.

Mark said: "It's not quite what you expect to find when you got to the toilet.

"The next problem we've got is how you get a dragon out of the toilet.

"He looks quite comfortable."

Along with some of the locals he and the film crew dragged a piece of rotting flesh and tempted the dragon back out.

But his visit wouldn't have been complete without him leaving a little 'present' for his host.

Komodo is one of the 17,508 islands in Indonesia and is the only habitat of the Komodo dragons - the largest lizard on Earth, which is named after the island.
