The internet has been buzzing recently with videos of adorable little animals doing something not so cute: stealing human food. Critters from squirrels to rats to giraffes (we're not kidding) have been captured on camera snatching food away from innocent, unsuspecting humans. Check out the videos below to see the 12 worst offenders caught in the act.
Get This Bear Outta My Grill
There's no such thing as a free lunch — unless you're a bulldoggish black bear with a serious craving for steak. One family recorded the bear bravely sidling up to their grill and yanking away a $20 sirloin — while one of the kids urges him to just take the kabobs instead. Apparently, the bear wasn't feeling meat on a stick either.
Behold, The Infamous Pizza Rat
Ever since he was caught on camera two years ago, this rodent has become an online sensation. Combining three New York City staples — the subway, pizza and rats — Pizza Rat shows the kind of spirit and triumph that gets every New Yorker through a long day at work.
Meet Pizza Rat's Sidekick: Shake Shack Squirrel
Watching Shake Shack Squirrel dive into that trash can, it's easy to tell he's on a mission. He grabs the milkshake cup right away, tears the straw out and makes his escape. We really can't mock, though — we've definitely torn into a Shake Shack shake with that much ferocity before.
Friendly Raccoon Wants To Join These Cats For Lunch
We have to give this raccoon some credit; there was literally a path of food through the garage for him to follow. What was he supposed to do — ignore it? Would you ignore a trail of free food? We didn't think so. But hey, at least he washes his hands first. Manners are important, even to wild animals.
Shoplifting Seagull Is Not About Waiting In Line
Waiting in the check-out line at the grocery store is the worst. If you're a seagull, however, that problem doesn't apply to you. This gull, named Sam, was hungry for a snack, so he did what any logical creature would do: walked right into the store, picked his favorite bag of Doritos off the shelf, and strutted out with them.
Hungry Monkey Steals Sandwich From Inside This Man's Bag
When hunger hits, you can't ignore it. This monkey decided he needed a sandwich, like, right now, so he unzipped this man's bag (anyone else concerned that a monkey can work a zipper?) and stole his lunch right out of it. He then sits only a few feet away from the man and proceeds to eat the entire sandwich. You can almost read his thoughts: "Stupid human. You think you're going to get this sandwich back now? I don't think so."
Surprise Seagull Gives A Big "Nope" To This Guy Trying To Impress His Date
According to The Daily Mail Online, Calvin Sprague, an American, was on a date in Scheveningen, Holland, at the Hague, when he decided he wanted to impress his girlfriend by eating raw herring the "right way." However, a seagull flying by had a different idea — he wanted a piece of herring and he wanted it now. Right as Sprague closed his eyes and lifted the piece of fish to his mouth, this pesky seagull flew down and swiped the herring right out of his hand.
Curious Giraffe Pokes Its Head Into This Family's Car
This family was on a drive-through safari when they got a very unexpected visitor inside their car. A giraffe strolls over to their van, sticks his head in the window like, "Oh, hey guys," and starts looking around for a snack. After leaving the family with an unforgettable memory and a whole lot of giraffe drool, he grabs a bag of food through the sunroof and waltzes away. Totally casual.

Dog Sees Boy Eating A Sandwich, Decides He Wants It Right Now
Little kids are such easy victims. This dog took it upon himself to teach this boy an important life lesson: if you don't protect your food, someone else is going to take it. And eat it. Right in front of you. It's a tough world out there, kid. If you snooze, you lose.
