A group of courier workers in Indonesia has gone viral after a bizarre incident involving a live monitor lizard that escaped from a parcel, drawing widespread attention across social media platforms.
The unusual moment was captured in a video shared on Threads by the account @makasar_info, showing several delivery workers scrambling to recapture the reptile, which had been ordered and packed by a customer. The footage highlights the unexpected challenges faced by couriers when handling unusual shipments.
In the clip, some workers can be seen running in panic as the monitor lizard darted around freely, causing a chaotic yet humorous scene. Others attempted to regain control using whatever tools were available, while some even tried to catch the animal with their bare hands.
The video has since garnered more than 9,200 likes, with netizens flooding the comments section with amused reactions. Many expressed disbelief over how such an animal could be shipped through standard delivery services.
“Who even orders a monitor lizard online?” one user questioned, while another joked, “Parcel status: escaped.”
