Viral Footage Sparks Debate
A video claiming to show a mouse riding on an airplane wing during takeoff in Mexico has gone viral on social media.
The footage reportedly shows a small animal positioned on the aircraft as it prepares to leave the runway. The unusual scene has prompted viewers to question how a mouse could remain on an airplane during takeoff.
The video has reportedly been attributed to Raul Gutierrez and was later shared by an influencer. However, searches of available news reports did not verify that the footage shows a real mouse traveling on an aircraft wing during takeoff.

Similar Viral Aviation Clips
Interestingly, viral footage of animals appearing on aircraft has circulated before. In 2022, a video showed a pigeon standing on an Aeromexico aircraft wing before takeoff. The bird eventually slid from the wing when the aircraft increased thrust.
Meanwhile, other viral airplane-wing videos have been proven to use visual effects. One widely circulated clip showing a person apparently sitting on an airplane wing was created using green-screen technology.
Therefore, claims that the Mexican footage definitely shows a mouse surviving takeoff should be treated cautiously. No credible report located in the search confirmed the specific incident or established that Raul Gutierrez filmed it.
The video continues to attract attention because of its extraordinary appearance. However, its authenticity remains unverified based on currently available evidence.
