You’ve got to hand it to this little guy—he’s a mastermind. A video of a mouse outsmarting a trap has gone viral, leaving people around the world in awe of its cleverness. It’s not every day you see a critter outwit a human, but this little rodent proved that brains can sometimes trump brawn.

The story begins with TikTok user @maddytwoshoes, who decided to set a trap for a pesky mouse that had taken up residence in their home. They strategically placed the trap by a wall, thinking it was the perfect spot to catch the sneaky critter. But they underestimated the intelligence of their furry foe. Instead of falling for the trap, the mouse pulled off a move that left everyone scratching their heads in admiration.

In a move that would make even the craftiest of animals jealous, the mouse carefully removed the cheese from the trap without triggering it. It’s almost like this little guy had been practicing his moves for years. Some might say this wasn’t his first rodeo, and who could blame him? If I were a mouse, I’d probably be pretty wary of traps too.
