VIDEO: Incredible footage of monitor lizard trashing a 7-Eleven in Thailand

[snoop1130]

 

Well this isn’t something you see everyday. 

 

Incredible footage shows the moment a huge monitor lizard wreaks havoc inside a 7-Eleven  store in Thailand.

 

The video was shared by Thailand based travel agency Mundo Nomada and shows the lizard scaling shelves and knocking items to the floor.

 

The lizard eventually stops when it reaches the top of the shelving units.

 

 

 

People inside the store can be heard screaming in disbelief at what they are witnessing.

 

Unsurprisingly, the footage has gone viral and had been retweeted over 12,000 times at the time of posting. 

 

It was immediately clear where the incident occurred or what happened to the lizard.

It is a bit of an over reaction. He should have known that he can't buy alcohol between  2 and 5 pm. No point trashing the place just  because it is a stupid rule.

Well, technically he was fighting Ghidhora, who's consciousness was in charge of Mechgodzilla. Least that's the way i understood it

[simon43]

Bet that lizard is in some Issan worker's cooking pot now....

Probably just wandered in and found it cold plus disoriented so just climbed up to safety. It's probably warmer up there as well. 

I've seen them in Bangkok several times and once in one of our trees. It disappeared once the dogs had gone away.

A bite of one of those is nasty! 

[ChipButty]

It's not got a mask on 

[Deserted]

Where did this happen, which part of the country?

[Somtamnication]

Oh God. I had to ask my wife if she has seen her mother!

[Camillof]

Shop owners should be delighted, Thai people believe this animal brings good luck. It is not rare that it enters ground-floor dwelling places. It is in overpopulation in some areas. It is not aggressive to humans but can be scary at times, see this 6 week-old news report: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9nYDqp2ns0

Not if it's prepared properly.

And I thought for a second it was my MiL foraging for unnecessary food items as she always does. The resemblance is uncanny.

Their tails do the most damage. There's loads in Lumpini Park.  My son followed one up a tree overhanging the lake.  He followed it with his new digital camera.  Once cornered it thrashed its tail at him snapping off a huge bough with explosive force one foot from his head & camera.

From one article:

 

While it was unclear where exactly where it happened, her Instagram story was tagged Soi Ban Tang Sin, which is in the Salaya area of west metro Bangkok’s Nakhon Pathom province

 

 

 

[Burma Bill]

Unusual, but in my opinion, not as bad as the monkeys in Lopburi:-

Yeah, their tail slaps hurt, but after a bite of one of those you’ll definitely be heading to the emergency unit to get a ton of stitches, and most likely reconstructive surgery, if it bites you on the hand. Plus, you’ll be taking lots of heavy antibiotics because of the bacteria in their mouths and they now believe that all monitor lizards possess some mild venom, which they release during the bite. Their teeth are literally like razor blades, they cut well and deep! 
 

Theres a video on YouTube called Tom Crutchfield’s Crocodile Monitors (The story behind the bite). Crocodile monitor lizards have the longest teeth of all the monitor lizards. The bite featured in this video is definite more severe than what you would get from the Asian water monitors you find in Thailand, but not by a lot.

The shop assistant should have screamed out "There's a hia hia here!"  ????

Well I suggest you go and tell him then. Assuming you can find ears to put the loops over.  ????

I've just noticed it's next to the ice dispenser so there will be heat from there as well.

Quite clearly having difficulty in find something that hasn't got sugar.
