The now-popular video showed the monitor lizard casually strolling around an unidentified neighbourhood. Indian Forest Service officer Praveen Angusamy likewise took to Twitter sharing a video of the Monitor lizard spotted and requested residents of the area to not harm the animal.
"This Water or Bengal monitor lizard was seen in Dum, Kolkata after substantial downpours from #CycloneYaas. On the off chance that you see any natural life, kindly advise the woodland dept or locale administrator right away. Try not to attempt to get it or attempt to murder the creature. A protected distance is consistently fitting," Angusamy composed, sharing the video.
