Giant lizard climbs shelves of Thai supermarket in search of food

A giant monitor lizard climbs up a fully-stacked wall unit at a supermarket on the outskirts of Bangkok, unperturbed at the cartons and packages it knocks to the ground as it searches for footholds, then appears to rest on the top shelf, watched by panicked staff and customers. According to reports the 6ft-long reptile emerged from a nearby canal and ran into the 7-Eleven store. A shop assistant called police who arrived with reptile handlers to snare the lizard, which is believed to have struggled to find food outside, following months of dry weather, which has led to many canals and lakes drying up

Let the poor guy do his shopping in peace people... honestly... peeps just always in others business, smh

[hellohumansss]

here's a translation for the women voice in the back
"Oh! maybe he's hungry"
"Oh no, he's breaking the shelf"
"Maybe he's hot, so he escape the heat from outside"
"Oh look! he's sleeping now hahahahaha"

The camera system went out so the store got a new monitor

After this footage was taken, the reptile shoplifted a pack of sausages and the police were called.

Police have no leads but are continuing to monitor the situation.

The new store manager sure looks like he can keep the customers entertained

Lol. Imagine ringing insurance and be like "Can you replace my stuff some giant lizard came and destroyed everything." 😂

Woah! These Godzilla vs Kong commercials are getting too real

“Monitor” lizard can’t read. Snacks everywhere. Poor guy/gal.

[bluefootwalking]

After his fight with Kong, Godzilla went to the store for a pack of cigarettes...

What a beautiful creature! I love how he scales the shelves knocking everything down in the process. Reptiles are wonderful animals.

[ninalee]

That lizard is climbing because he feels threatened by the people.

[jasonspencer]

I guess he got tired of waiting for an employee to assist him.

[Xii]

He's terrified and just trying to get away from all the screaming.

[heylamb]

I've seen something like this at the Starbucks in Thailand and Australia 😆

[fullstop]

If this was in China there’d be someone trying to scan it at the till.

[afterlife]

He’s just there looking for the latest flavor of Mountain Dew

Lizard lime

This is exactly how I feel when I need to go to the supermarket. The wild life trying to understand civilization rules.

He's looking for snickers bar, after having one, he will return to his former state
