A mother has told of her shock when she saw a huge creature through her baby camera, before realising what it actually was.
Maddy Lindhorst, mother of one, shared her big blunder on TikTok after seeing something unusual and totally bizarre on her baby monitor.
According to the fitness fanatic, who is currently pregnant with her second child, she quickly checked her phone to see what her little one was doing in the living room.
But also think of Maddy, who saw an ‘enormous gorilla’ standing impressively in front of the couch.
Frightened, the woman immediately ran inside to save the little one from the enormous primate. But as soon as she reached the living room, Maddy realized what the enormous animal was doing. Actually used to be.
“His toy gorilla was right next to the camera,” the mortified mother laughed as she shared the hilarious incident her page.
Since the video was posted to TikTok, it has gone viral, with the fit mom receiving a whopping 7.2 million views in less than 24 hours.
After taking the internet by storm, Maddy admitted that she had never run so fast before, and didn’t really have a plan to combat the primate.
“There was absolutely no plan other than my baby being in the house so I had to run inside,” she said in the comments.
“I really panicked,” she said of the initial fear and shock.
The clip caused hilarity among people and thousands responded en masse to share their thoughts.
One of them looked as petrified as Maddy, writing: “I was stunned because why does it look so real??”
Another mother joined in the conversation: “My mother brain made me call 911.”
“I was just about to ask if he escaped from the zoo and crawled into your house,” joked a third, while others shared similar horror stories they had experienced.
“THIS HAPPENED TO ME WITH MY CAT, I THOUGHT I SAW A BLACK PANTHER 😭,” one animal lover exclaimed.
”Once a stink bug flew right in front of our kitchen camera and it looked like a HUGE OUTDOOR CUSTOMER was walking across our counter.
“When I said that I looked twice!!” wrote one shocked social media user.
Speaking of parenthood, an expectant mother recently made headlines after people criticized her for her “disgusting” pregnancy announcement.
The woman, Mari, from the US, decided to surprise her husband Chan with the wonderful news: she gave him a snack containing her pregnancy test.
According to Mari, the original plan was to share the big news “the traditional way,” but she decided to “do it differently.”
“Since he loves food and snacks, I thought, ‘Why not just put it in his favorite snack?’” she wrote on Instagram.
When Chan was urged to try the new dish, he pulled it out and took a bite, before realizing what it really was.
Totally shocked, the partner asked his wife if she was pregnant. After she admitted that she had not cleaned the packaging, he called Mari ‘dirty’.
