Original Note:
Most likely a muskrat, not a rat. Not common in Manhattan but muskrats can be found in the outer boroughs of New York City. This video was shot in a Bronx bodega. Sightings of racoons, hawks, even coyotes are becoming increasingly common. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/01/nyregion/its-a-beaver-its-a-big-water-rat-no-its-a-muskrat.html
