Woman Makes Nervous Rat Pull Off Slick Viral Dance Moves to Song, Mzansi Floored: “He’s Levitating!”

• In a viral video online, a woman made a docile rat dance to a popular Pop song by controlling its movements
• The @AMAZlNGNATURE X page shared the viral video of the rodent resigned to the unnatural but subtle torture
• Netizens had a good time reacting to the peculiar and entertaining scenes as they cracked jokes in the comments

Bizarre comes in all shapes and sizes, but it doesn't get stranger than a dancing rat — at least one pulling off slick MJ moves with the help of its human handler.

And that's all where one would hope it ended for the poor rodent at the centre of the strange and hilarious "experiment", considering the ominous caption accompanying the clip.

The @AMAZlNGNATURE X page shared it with the heading:

"The rat just accepted its fate."

Almost unbelievably — making it unfathomable not to roll on the floor laughing after watching the material — the woman holding it makes it shake, gyrate, and slide from side to side.

Supporting its large body with her left and right hands, she begins the act on cue to the tempo of the music — Dua Lipa's Levitate.

Meanwhile, as the illustrative caption suggests, the docile vermin appears resigned to its fate, not putting up a fight or squeaking.

Mzansi laughs at hilarity

The viral scenes more than did a subtle number on the almost 27 million people who watched the incredible clip in its first 36 hours.
