A video showing what seemed to be a huge rat at a bank has gone viral, leaving the netizens in stitches.

In a TikTok clip uploaded by Junior Calvin (@itz.juniorcalvin), the huge rodent is seen going up and down, confused at a glass turnstile door. The gents can be heard expressing their shock.

The Pretoria TikTokker hilariously said Alexandra rats have relocated. Alex is known to have one of the biggest rats - lol. What is funny, is that the way the rodent was so big, the guys themselves were not sure if it was indeed a rat.
