Colombian woman orders air fryer from Amazon, receives lizard in package
Bogotá: In a bizarre turn of events, a woman in Colombia was shocked when she opened her Amazon package expecting an air fryer, only to find a lizard inside.
Sofia Serrano, the customer, shared the unusual experience on social media platform X, posting a picture of the lizard clinging to the inside of the box. She wrote, “We ordered an air fryer through Amazon and it arrived with a companion. I don’t know if it was Amazon’s fault or the carrier’s fault… good morning!”
The tweet quickly went viral, garnering over 4 million views. Amazon's customer service team responded to the incident, apologizing to Serrano for the inconvenience. They wrote, "Hello! We're sorry for the inconvenience."
Social media users flocked to the comment section to share their reactions. One user wondered, "Where did that come from???? From Singapore?? There are some like that and it is very common to see them on the street." Another expressed concern for the lizard, writing, "Poor little animal, how many hours has he spent in a box, without food or water. Hopefully @amazon can provide a relevant solution for both those affected and the animal."
This incident is reminiscent of a similar situation that occurred in June when a couple in Bengaluru, India, received an Amazon package containing a snake. The viral video showed a cobra entangled in the packaging tape, struggling to free itself. The wife, identified as Tanvi, recorded the scene and posted it online, stating that she heard a "hiss" sound upon opening the package.

Maharashtra excise dept cancels liquor permit for Diljit Dosanjh's Pune concert
Pune, Nov 24: The Maharashtra excise department on Sunday cancelled the permit for serving alcohol at actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh's concert in the Kothrud area of Pune later in the evening, an official said.
The department cancelled the permit after people from different quarters, including Kothrud's newly elected BJP MLA Chandrakant Patil, objected to plans to serve liquor at the programme.
State excise commissioner C Rajput said, "The state excise department has cancelled the permission to serve liquor during the programme."
MLA Patil raised an objection against the concert scheduled at Kakade Farm in Kothrud later in the evening.
The BJP leader, in a statement, said, "Such shows are not part of the city's culture. This will create a major disturbance for residents of the area. The event will also cause traffic jams. Hence, I have urged the city police commissioner to cancel the programme."
