This hapless monitor lizard drove coffee shop staff round the bend after getting stuck in their urinal.<br /><br />The reptile scampered inside the cafe but was spooked by a pet dog yesterday (July 7) afternoon in Trat, southern Thailand.<br /><br />It took refuge the toilet before the terrified staff slammed the door to keep it locked safely away until the emergency services could arrive.<br /><br />But when they opened the door, they found the 3.5ft long water monitor lizard had tried to escape by scurrying up the men's toilet. <br /><br />The beast was firmly stuck with nothing but its long tail poking out of the porcelain - giving it a nose-full of smelly odors as its head was stuck at the back of the urinal.<br /><br />The shop's waitress says in the video: ''I heard the dogs barking and the monitor lizard was scared. It ran away into the toilet. <br /><br />''This was the first time that a monitor lizard has come into our shop.''<br /><br />Rescue workers from the Sawang Boriboon foundation had to unscrew the pipework from the urinal before they could free the lizard.<br /><br />The creature was then carried outside and released safely and without injury back into a nearby forest.
