Sept. 8 (UPI) -- A shocked resident of a Malaysian town captured video of an unusual sight -- a massive crocodile camped out in front of his brother's store.

The video shows the crocodile standing defiantly with its jaws wide open in front of a store in Limbang while firefighters work to wrangle the big reptile.

The man said it took the firefighters a little under an hour to capture the giant croc.

The filmer theorized the crocodile had used high tide to make its way up a flooded drain leading to the Limbang River. He said the croc likely ended up in the store's parking lot and couldn't find its way back to the drain.

"The big crocodile were taken on the truck and after discussions with forestry department, it was then released back to Ulu Pandaruan river. The boundary of Pandaruan river believed the most populated of crocodile colony," the filmer wrote.

The man said the crocodile was the first he was aware of to have wandered into the town.
