Employees at a bank in China had an unwelcome visitor at their morning staff meeting - a huge Burmese python.
CCTV captured the moment the snake literally dropped in on the meeting in the city of Nanning, falling through the ceiling.
The surveillance footage shows bank staff fleeing as the 1-metre long, 7.5kg python lands at their feet.
But the reptile seemed just as terrified, quickly slithering under some furniture for safety.
CGTN reports it was later captured with the help of wildlife rescue workers and is expected to be released back into the wild.
Experts say the snake is an adolescent Burmese python and is typically not a threat to humans.
Strangely, the visit is reportedly the second time a snake has entered the bank.
