The video for Katy Perry's newest single, "Roar," has been viewed almost 36 million times since it appeared online four days ago. In case none of those views were yours, a quick plot summary: A woman crash-lands in the jungle with an attractive but inconsiderate boyfriend in safari gear who's eaten by a tiger at 0:40. She's scared at first, but soon befriends a monkey, is bathed by a helpful elephant, and changes out of her old clothes into (spoiler alert!) a leopard bra. And sings.

On her road to empowerment, Katy gets help from a diverse array of animals. So diverse, in fact, that their being together in the jungle might be the most fantastical element of the video.
