In the presence of the human, the giant rat runs away, showing its tail at least 15 centimeters long.
The video already has more than 171 thousand views on Twitter and hundreds of thousands more on TikTok.
Users have commented that due to the size of the rat it cannot be real. Others, in a mocking tone, have said “they grow different” in New York, alluding to the enormous amounts of waste food to which these animals have access.
“It looks like a dog,” another Internet user commented.
The sightings of “Giant” rats have been documented throughout the city.

Given the inability of health authorities and residents to control the rat infestation, the New York government this year appointed Kathleen Corradi as the new head of Rodent Mitigation. A position focused solely on combating these rodents and controlling the damage caused by them.
