A Johannesburg schoolgirl had no idea what was waiting for her on the other side of her school gates. When she stepped outside, a giant polar bear mascot was standing there, holding floating balloons and a cuddly teddy bear, all arranged by her parents as a birthday surprise.

The moment was captured and shared on Instagram by @dancingmascotssa, a Johannesburg-based company that specialises in mascot birthday deliveries. The caption confirmed that her mum and dad were behind the surprise.

Birthday surprise stops the street

As the young girl stepped through the gate, the mascot moved towards her, and her classmates instantly crowded around. 50 Cent's In Da Club began playing, and the polar bear launched into a full dance routine, tail wiggling and all, sending the crowd of school children into a frenzy of cheers and laughter.

The birthday girl, clearly overwhelmed, covered her face and laughed at the same time. She looked like she genuinely did not know whether to cry, laugh, or run, and the crowd loved every second of it.
