‘Ridiculously Photogenic Gerbil’ Embraced by Internet

Despite running a rigorous obstacle course, Winston the gerbil hadn’t even broken a sweat when he was photographed by a friend, mid-scamper.

“He looked fantastic,” said Mary Wells, who snapped the pic. “Very poised indeed.”

It didn’t take long for the Internet to get a hold of the image, and Winston quickly became known as the “Ridiculously Photogenic Gerbil” – a riff on the “Ridiculously Photogenic Guy” meme that took the web by storm in April.

Good Morning America has already booked the British rodent/heartthrob for tomorrow’s show.
