Juliana Leite was in for a not-so-pleasant surprise this Monday (20) when she came across three rats swimming in her kiddie pool. Extreme heat in Rio de Janeiro forced rodents to cool off in a children’s pool, where they were trapped due to a lack of water.

The atypical moment was recorded on video and posted on TikTok, which quickly went viral on social media. “We lost the pool. Sixty degrees in Rio de Janeiro and look what showed up in my kiddie pool,” Juliana wrote in the caption.

The video, which has already received 1 million views, has divided the opinions of Internet users. While some expressed agony and fear for the rats, others expressed compassion given the intense heat the animals faced.

“Everyone is hot,” one internet user commented. “I feel like rats, but I can’t help but feel sorry for them. They get hot too,” another commented.
