By now everyone knows that New York City rats will eat just about anything, but a 2014 viral video that resurfaced Tuesday shows one merciless rodent go to new heights for a fresh feast.
The nearly 3-minute-long YouTube video, titled
“Rat vs. Pigeon in Williamsburg, NY,†shows the rat wrestling an apparently injured pigeon
(Warning: video includes graphic language).
“You only see this in New York,†a man can be
heard saying off-screen.
The pigeon eventually breaks free, but he’s too
slow for the hungry rodent, who scurries
towards it, feathers hanging out of its tiny mouth.
The rat makes a jump for its prey and latches
onto the bird’s back. It then drags the pigeon
across the sidewalk, and, using herculean
strength, hoists it over a concrete curb and into some bushes to presumably devour its dinner.
“One disgusting animal eats the other,†says
another man off-screen at the end of the video.
