Judging by the page X (formerly Twitter) Tam RevealedSewage company employees were investigating a clog affecting the city when they heard a persistent noise.

The noise was reminiscent of an animal beating its tail underneath them. They soon became afraid, but after a short investigation they found a giant reptile in the gallery.

Environmental authorities and sewer company workers were studying ways to remove the animal from the area – DestaPANdoTam/X/Redessocial/Reproduction/ND
