The rat selfie (Picture: Fox)

Turns out rats can be just as narcissistic as humans.

This rodent hasn’t quite perfected his pose yet, but managed to snap a selfie of himself using a phone belonging someone sleeping on a subway platform in New York.

Unfortunately for the guy, he woke up while the rat was doing his thang, and got quite a shock.


And the best bit? Not only does the rat selfie exist, but a passer-by called Don Richards managed to film the entire thing on his phone.

The video shows the man sleeping on the platform with #SelfieRat crawling over his lap. The camera then flashes and the unnamed man wakes up to find the rat in action.



He is then seen jumping up and shaking the rat off before leaning down to grab his phone.

The pair exchanged video and photos of the incident before going their separate ways.
