A lightning strike resembling a, well, dinosaur has been captured in the US.

The picture, taken by Hallie Larsen from the National Park Service, shows a bolt looking like a Tyrannosaurus Rex about to take a big chomp out of a rock formation in Arizona.

The area is often thought of as hot and dry during summer, but it also cops a bit of monsoon activity this time of year, spurring on the strikes.  

It has also been compared to a heart.

I prefer the dinosaur.
