Though anyone heading to Canada's Wonderland these days is likely most excited to ride the theme park's newest rollercoaster, AlpenFury, or get into the spirit of spooky season with its seasonal Halloween Haunt event, two very different (and unexpected) attractions managed to steal the show at the Vaughan, Ontario destination this week. Posted to Reddit, the first clip documented a resident raccoon's hilarious attempts to wrangle some koi fish in one of the property's waterways. Just days later, another parkgoer spotted a scene in the same vein, jumping to record what could be the GTA's latest answer to NYC's viral pizza rat: pizza... groundhog? "Here's a video I took that made me laugh," the person wrote on Monday, sharing 28 seconds of gold that starred a chunky-looking groundhog joyfully munching on a slice of pizza while perched on a rock in the sun. Wonderland declined to comment on its adorable but often chaotic in-park wildlife, but here's hoping that its animal patrons stay happy, healthy and entertaining us all for years to come.
