Hero waitress drags huge lizard out of restaurant by the tail

You expect to have to polish cutlery, carry three plates at once and deal with people sabotaging food for a free meal as part of the job description.

But at most restaurants, you won’t have to wrestle with a 180cm goanna lizard.

Samia Lily, 25, was ready when her destiny called.

She thought the animal was a dog at first when it appeared at the Mimosa Winery in New South Wales, Australia and started to approach a group of people dining.

As customers screamed in terror, Samia grabbed a chair to create a barricade between the lizard and their table.

Then she grabbed its tail with her bare hands and dragged it out of the restaurant, past a woman who had jumped onto her chair to get out of its path.

‘I looked at it and thought it was a dog at first,’ Samia told Bega District News.

‘Everyone was screaming, so I started screaming too.’

She said she had been unsure what to do and whether she should grab it, telling herself: ‘I know it’s bad, but it was getting close to customers’.

Afterward she said she wasn’t scared but felt ‘excited’.
