On July 12, 2024, something nutty took place at the Walt Disney World Resort — a squirrel narrowly avoided catching on fire at Disney Springs.

According to a report by the New York Post, onlookers were horrified when they spotted a squirrel scurrying around the rocks near the artificial volcano in front of the Rainforest Cafe in Disney Springs.

Video from the harrowing incident shows guests gasping and pleading with the squirrel to get away from the fire, but the rodent continues approaching the volcano’s core when suddenly a large fiery eruption occurs, nearly cooking them.

The individual filming this close encounter claims that the squirrel made it out alive, but not unscathed, with their tail being singed by the fire.

Last year saw two squirrel related incidents occur at the Walt Disney World Resort when a rogue rodent stormed the stage at the Carousel of Progress in Magic Kingdom not once but twice in the same month.
