Pizza Rat Meets Its Match in Milkshake Squirrel

By Anton K. Nilsson | September 22, 2015 6:00pm

Meet the newest hungry New York rodent to chew its way to Internet fame.

While Pizza Rat let go of his slice near the bottom of the First Avenue L train stairs, Milkshake Squirrel offers a lesson in tenacity.

The video of a squirrel retrieving a Shake Shack milkshake from a trash can in Madison Square Park before dragging it off, opening it and savoring sweet victory was uploaded by Mashable Tuesday afternoon.

"Dude, you're gonna get a tummy ache!" one onlooker can be heard saying in the clip, as the squirrel rips off the cup's lid using its teeth and both front paws.
