Two Mice Throw Punches at London Underground Station
Two little mice were filmed pretending to box inside a London Underground station.
They stood on their back legs and moved their front paws like they were throwing punches.
People watching found the scene funny and cute.
The video was posted on August 29, but nobody knows exactly when it was recorded.
It is unclear what the mice were fighting about.
The video did not show which mouse won.
People remembered a similar photograph of mice fighting over food crumbs in a London station.
Many commenters joked that rats in New York City would be much bigger and scarier.
A video shows two mice appearing to fight on their hind legs at Oxford Circus station.

The rodents seemed to be squabbling over something that cannot be identified in the video.
The footage received more than 120,000 likes in four days.
Commenters humorously compared the mice with supposedly larger, fiercer New York subway rats.
