A rampaging giant monitor lizard raided a SUPERMARKET and climbed on shelves in search of food. The 6ft long reptile emerged from a nearby canal and ran into the 7-Eleven store sparking panic in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand.

Staff and customers hid behind the counter while the beast climbed onto shelves and tossed several cartons of milk onto the ground. A worried shop assistant called the police who arrived with reptile handlers to snare the ferocious monitor lizard shortly after lunchtime. The rescue team arrived at the shop on the outskirts of the capital Bangkok and dragged the monitor lizard out of the store before ushering it away into nearby undergrowth. Despite its rampage through the grocery shop, the monitor lizard had not managed to take any food. The unusually large creature is believed to have struggled to find food outside, following months of dry weather with little rain. Thanks for watching! Subscribe for more incredible clips every day!
