Luckily it was behind glass! Took the kids to a local wildlife rescue. I was bored while the tour guide was talking (we had been there before) so I turned around to get a picture of this big guy who was staring right at me. As I lined up to take the shot I was so engrossed in what I was doing (and trying to avoid these strange smears on the glass) and didn't see him slowly moving towards me. He lunged and hit the glass with his front claws. I yelped and jumped back and noticed everyone (tour guide/people on the tour) looking at me. It was pretty embarrassing! I turned back and looked at the (whatever it is, some kind of lizard?) it was clawing at the glass and gave me one last evil glare before turning it's back on me. Totally missed the shot.
Didn't realize I had this pic until I pulled them off the camera. Must of hit the button when I jumped.
