Rat - Rattus norvegicus

This rat was in an exhibit at The Bronx Zoo. I don't think it was intended to be there, though. We saw many sparrows, mice, chipmunks, and rats darting in and out of the enclosures.

        I'm also grateful how in every movie, NYC saves the world, which obviously consists of Manhattan. Very kind people down there. Posted one year ago
