Shoppers got more than they bargained for when a six-foot monitor lizard raided a supermarket and clambered over shelves in search of food.

The giant reptile sparked panic after it emerged from a nearby canal and ran into the 7-Eleven store in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand.

Staff and customers hid behind the counter as the beast rampaged through the store and tossed food and drink cartons to the ground.

A shop assistant said the lizard was in the store for an hour before police and reptile handlers arrived.

Something when suppose don da inside pot go da terrorize people
Explorer on the beat, ride on comrade

The employee said: 'The monitor lizard stayed on the shelf for an hour.

The rescue team arrived and chased it away.

But they didn't catch it, it just ran away into the bushes.

'I've never seen a monitor lizard that big in my life, so it was a surprise for one to come in the shop.'

Customer Narumpa Tangsin, who filmed the creature, said: 'They're dangerous animals, especially when they're angry, so I stayed back and recorded it on my phone.

Trust me, they never wanted to catch it, at least if I was there, I will catch it and request to pay for what I caught in their store even if it is one pounds or whatever currency they use, take it home, prepare it and snap to be posted on Nairaland for Lalasticlala to move to Frontpage.

in my village, orogun, Delta state, na close friends them be with humans mehn. Even to the extent Dem go as come sleep under chair wey you sit on right inside your parlor. Them dey move freely and slowly in my place. They don't attack humans and humans don't harm them.

gbam. I have discovered that we have larger reptiles in Asia. when you travel down to Asia you see different species you ve never seen before

thats quite gigantic
the lizard na mumu lizard e think say na naija man e see come they cimb shelf later come enter bush
they even call rescue team for am

Wait, they allowed this fresh meat to escape?

I never knew monitor lizards grew this big thanks to our naija brothers who always kill them prematurely.

Abi them dey feed am?
How can an ordinary monitor lizard grow this big?
Or has it lived for over 200yrs?

If this happened in our dear country, the nairaland topic will be of that of bush meat pepper soup, made from a 6ft monitor lizard that raided a shop

This is huge. Almost as big as a comodo dragon

Damn

This is huge and scary. Its lucky it wasn't in Nigeria, it would have been placed side by side with better palmwine and itself as peppered meat.

It wants to do some shopping for it's kids and extended family.

We don't have larger reptiles here in Nigeria because they don't allow it to grow pass 1ft.

They eat monitor lizards throughout that region.

I've never seen monitor lizard that big before. I'm glad it wasn't killed unlike in my country that they can kill just anything!

TheSTreetman:

You're right. That is a factor also. They believe all animals should be killed.
