A viral video showcasing a pair of rats appearing to kiss inside a Kips Bay restaurant sparked intrigue among New Yorkers. Captured by local resident Jack Knobloch, the scene was initially perceived as a cute moment of romance. However, expert analysis revealed that the rats were engaged in a display of dominance, not affection. Despite the humorous caption shared by Knobloch on TikTok, a health inspection of the restaurant previously showed evidence of rodent issues, underscoring the city's persistent vermin problems.
The vibe between the two is likely hate, not love. The rat on the left is showing a classic submissive upright posture as the rat on the right approaches.
Jack Knobloch found the scene crazy, stating it was a scene out of New York. Yet it was unsettlingânot a romantic moment, despite appearances.
Knobloch shared the video as 'Summer love in the Big Apple,' highlighting New Yorkersâ humorous take on the moment amidst dating struggles in the city.
