| Lots of unusual urban wildlife was on display last weekend in New York City for the Lunar New Year celebrations in Manhattan's Chinatown. |
 |
| There were lions. |
 |
| And dragons. |
 |
| But mainly there were rats! |
 |
| Lots of rats. |
 |
| Rats everywhere. |
 |
| These stuffed golden rats with lucky red money envelopes won my best-rats-of-the-day award. Click to enlarge. |
 |
| More golden rats on sticks. |
 |
| The rat is the first in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese Zodiac. I hear it got to be first by riding an ox to the contest and jumping off just at the last minute and rushing over the finish line. That put the ox in second place, so 2021 will be the Year of the Ox and we'll be seeing lots of them this time next year. |
