Move over, Pizza Rat: You may have conquered the Internet on Monday, but the week ain’t over yet, and you’ve got company.

World, please meet Milkshake Squirrel, another urban New York rodent making the most of its access to the city’s finest junk food. This little critter prefers the local burger joint Shake Shack to your average dollar-slice pizzeria, favoring the ice cream concoctions the chain is named for.

Ultimate respect to any creature who ditches the straw and dives right in.
