A bizarre street video shows a man approaching a large group of small animals gathered across the pavement.
At first, the animals remain clustered together while pedestrians continue walking normally around them.
The man moves closer and suddenly lifts one leg as if trying to step across the unusual group.
Within seconds, his balance changes and the calm-looking scene turns completely chaotic.
Several of the animals begin moving toward him almost at the same time.
Then the man falls directly into the middle of the crowd.
As soon as he hits the pavement, the animals rapidly surround his body from every direction.
Some appear to climb across his legs and torso while he struggles to move underneath them.
What began as a strange encounter suddenly looks like a huge moving pile covering the man.
People nearby continue watching as the animals remain concentrated around him.
The unusual scene becomes even harder to understand as more of them appear to join the pile.
And just when viewers expect to see how the man gets back up, the clip reaches its strangest moment.
The recording is only a few seconds long and provides no explanation of what happened before the encounter.
It also does not confirm where the scene occurred or whether the unusual footage was staged or digitally created.
What viewers can clearly see is the man disappearing beneath a rapidly moving group of small animals.
The surreal appearance of the creatures makes the short clip even more difficult to explain from the footage alone.
Then the recording ends without clearly showing how the man finally gets away from the bizarre situation.
Leaving one obvious question behind: what exactly happened after the camera stopped?
