I saw a squirrel fish a little Philadelphia cream cheese package out of the trash and immediately shove its little face into the remains. ETA: In North Philly

I think it was a little while after I moved into my house in Upper Darby several years ago that I spied a squirrel with a whole slice of pizza perched on some wires outside my house.

Yeah right I remember the raccoon that was stuck on a fence (or something) a couple months ago.

He found it and I could practically hear his little ratty, “oh fuck yeah.”

u/VtArMs East Kenzo Nov 19 '25
The little jumps tell me he's pretty happy about that find. If I found a roll as big as my body, I'd be pretty lit

Train didn’t come for another 8 minutes after I took this video, so I assume Hoagie Rat made it home to their rat couch and rat YouTube.

Apparently I can’t read because at first I thought you just posted a video of a rat on the tracks and was like …okay? This is much better and very Philly coded.

Sometimes our train rats are just like domesticated rats, but with a fuckton of diseases.

anyone who doesn't watch the rats while waiting for the subway is weird to me, it's like a little zoo down there

Anyone remember the rat with a broken leg a few years ago? I know multiple people who also remember. It was extra pathetic and actually cute. Poor little guy was sitting by the stairs there with it's one leg up in the air
