I guess if New York cleans up their garbage the rats target the pigeons next. What happens if they run out of pigeons?

For anyone that doesn’t know, a rat king is a real thing and not something you want to look up while eating… If you’re reading this on the toilet, have at it.

Rat kings being a real thing is hardly proven. They are for the very vast part mythology and urban tales. https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/the-complicated-inconclusive-truth-behind-rat-kings

Rat kings do exist, but they’ve only been proven to exist in rare circumstances where rats gets stuck together to a variety of reasons and die. Existing beyond that is definitely up for debate and I’m not saying it’s common.

And you’d think they’d be referred to as a rat congress.

I’ve personally seen videos of “squirrel kings,” where several squirrels got their tails caught together with some kind of sticky resin. I really don’t think it’s a stretch to say it could happen to rats, especially given the places they tend to congregate.

I’ve always suspected that a human “prankster” was involved in the making of rat kings.

the celtic weave woven into their tails is a dead giveaway.

According to [this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_king) Wikipedia entry, there are also squirrel kings. I can not believe this actually occurs in real life.
