Airport staff ran around like something out of a Benny Hill sketch as they tried to catch a lizard on the loose.
A bemused colleague filmed a group of men in hi-vis jackets chasing the reptile as it scurried across the tarmac.
About eight workers pursued the speedy animal on foot, while another followed in a pickup truck.

Some of the men could be seen trying to kick the lizard like a football.
But the wily reptile kept changing direction and managed to dodge them.
Eventually, one of the workers managed to pick it up by the tail not far from a parked helicopter.
He began swinging it in the air, as reported by What’s The Jam.
The cruel scenes were filmed at Supadio Airport in the Indonesian part of the island of Borneo.

It is not clear what the workers did with the lizard in the end.
The clip was shared on social media by Lukman Ahmad last Friday (25 Apr).
Lukman wrote: “There’s an intruder, guys.”

Lily commented: “One against eight people, of course the monitor lizard would lose.”
Firdaus joked: “Clearly, this monitor lizard just finished playing GTA.
“It walks into the airport and immediately gets a five-star wanted level.”
And another viewer wrote: “The monitor lizard be like, ‘I’ve entered the wrong place.’”
