A woman in New York recently witnessed a man sitting on the sidewalk in the Bronx, casually eating a rat. And not just any rat—this one was raw, straight off the streets of New York City, no cooking involved.
Honestly, this feels par for the course for New York City in 2025. I mean, when you think of NYC, the rat is basically its mascot. Sure, the cockroach might give it a run for its money, but let’s be real—the rat is still king. Which got me thinking: if we had to eat an animal in Connecticut that’s most famous here, what would it be?
And I think this one’s a no-brainer—it’s got to be the mountain lion. Sure, Connecticut doesn’t actually have mountain lions, but that hasn’t stopped people from constantly reporting sightings of them. We talk about mountain lions more than any other animal, and it’s always because someone’s either confused or excited. Try typing “Mountain Lion” into Connecticut’s Reddit and enjoy the chaos that unfolds…
