Monitor lizard shows up for breakfast
Published on: Friday, May 30, 2025 Published on: Fri, May 30, 2025 By: Jimmy Goh Text Size: The water lizard flees unharmed. Kota Kinabalu: Breakfast diners at a coffee got more than their usual morning meal when an adult monitor lizard made an uninvited appearance inside the premises, startling customers and staff alike. The unusual incident happened at a coffee shop in Segama, where patrons had come in for their morning breakfast when the large reptile wandered into the establishment. Eyewitnesses described moments of surprise and confusion as the monitor lizard explored the indoor space, creating an unexpected wildlife encounter in an urban setting. Quick-thinking customers and staff members worked together to safely guide the animal back outside. Using gentle shooing methods, they successfully encouraged the monitor lizard to leave the premises without resorting to harmful measures. Fortunately, the incident ended without any injuries to either humans or the reptile. The monitor lizard appeared unharmed and made its way back to its natural habitat after the brief indoor excursion. Advertisement The encounter was captured on video by witnesses and footage of the incident began circulating on social media on Wednesday. Monitor lizards are common in Sabah and occasionally venture into populated areas in search of food or shelter. The coffee shop has since resumed normal operations, though the incident will likely remain a memorable talking point for both staff and regular customers for some time to come. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
