ANN ARBOR, Mich., April 4 (UPI) — A hungry squirrel in Michigan was caught on camera taking a cue from a famous New York subway rat by taking a slice of pizza and carrying it up a tree.
The video posted to YouTube by Chris Weeden shows the squirrel dragging a slice of pizza on the ground near a tree while the people filming from inside a nearby building provide commentary.
The people sound surprised as the squirrel is able to climb the tree while holding the slice of pizza and makes it to a high branch.
The squirrel evoked memories of New York’s famous “Pizza Rat,” which was recorded carrying a slice of pizza up a flight of stairs in a subway station.
“It’s a bird, it’s a plane. It’s PIZZA SQUIRREL! Ann Arbor, MI’s new Pizza Delivery service,” the squirrel video’s uploader joked.
