The customers of this supermarket located in Thailand will remember this visit a priori banal to buy some food. Indeed, this giant lizard known as varan measuring more than 1,80 meter made a surprise appearance in a supermarket and climbed on the shelves of this establishment in search of food.

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

Staff and customers hid behind the counter as the beast rampaged through the store, throwing boxes of food and drinks to the floor.
