This Rat Showers Like A Human — Not Kidding

If there’s anything that’s continued to hold strong in 2018 it’s that the internet is still bonkers, especially when it comes to the animal kingdom.

I mean we’ve seen it rain donkeys. We’ve seen monkeys grab breasts. While surprising, both relatively believable I suppose.

But my God have you seen a rat take a shower? Scrubbing itself like a human??

Check out Splinter here straight out Brazil.

Of course Twitter exploded.

Why is this rat bathing like a grown ass man who put in 14 hours at the coal mining factory? https://t.co/Ybi5m0WbW6

Just when you think you’ve seen it all #onhere, a video of a rat washing his ass pops up on the TL.

I have a feeling some grown men reading this article right now haven’t showered as well as this rat in years. If I’m speaking to you, do better.

On the other hand, if you’re told you live like a rat, you can now officially take it as a compliment.
