A creepy, crawly video of tiny
critters holding each other's tails and scurrying across the ground like a
furry centipede has captured the internet's attention.
Called "The NOPE
train," the video has garnered nearly 3 million views since it was posted to Imgur on Monday (July 24).
Commenters got creative, calling the furry unit "the human centipede: mice
edition," a "rat king in the making" and a "fluffy
snake." One user wryly posted, "The caboose is a bit wobbly."
At least two commenters got the
animal right: They're shrews.
And not just any shrews — that fuzzy conga is a mother shrew leading her babies
in a train, known as a caravan, according to Cynthia Alvarado, a clinical
veterinarian at the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine.
