31 Jan Viral Video Of A ‘Rat Taking A Shower’ Is Not What It Appears To Be

Us humans typically recoil in fear when we come across rats. We tend to assume that they’re dirty and that they carry nasty diseases, and we will never stop associating them with the black plague that wiped out 50 million people in the 14th century. Well, it’s time to move on guys!

But yesterday the world was charmed by these animals when a video of a rat appearing to take a shower went viral. However, it’s now emerged that #ShowerRat wasn’t quite what it appeared to be.

The bizarre video was recorded in Huaraz City, Peru, and the rat appears to be determined to scrub itself squeaky clean using soapy water. Amazingly, the creature can also be seen washing its armpits in the 48-second clip.

The creature’s human-like movements and expressions caused quite a stir online, as many people thought they were watching a real-life Pixar movie come to life.

Take a look at the amusing video for yourself:

The video, which was supposedly taken by electronic DJ Jose Correa, has been widely shared on social media. However, as is the case with so many viral clips, not all is what it appears to be.
