Now we have an explanation.” And as the lizard began to eat the fish, Ms Benfell can be heard saying that it was “time to go now.”“Literally the biggest fish I’ve ever seen in my life,” the TikToker agreed. She also said that she had to leave when another lizard came along, adding that the reptiles got territorial, so she left.A knowledgeable TikTok user appeared to agree with the staffer’s assessment that something must have been wrong with the fish.
