A lizard has been rescued after getting its head stuck down a toilet.
Lizard trapped in toilet
The four-foot creature had spent five days hiding out in the bathroom of a residential home in the Kapileswar Vihar area of Bhubaneswar, India, as it had been unable to scale a wall to leave via an open window .
A Snake Helpline team eventually dispatched a volunteer rescuer to free the reptile, and the helper arrived to find the lizard's head had got trapped inside the toilet pan hole.
Snake Helpline General Secretary Subhendu Mallik told the New Indian Express: "I am happy that we could help the family and rescue the reptile without further delay. Monitor lizards, found in the region, are usually harmless. However, people who come across such situations should immediately take help of experts."
