Cannibal rats have been seen eating each other on the subway in New York City.
Gruesome footage shows two of the vicious-looking animals feasting on a dead rat.
They appear to be eating the face and brains of the rat as a second lies dead on the floor nearby.
As they scurry over the corpse of their fellow rodent, battling for scraps, one of the feeding rats leaves the other rat to greedily scoff the remains alone.

When the rat is disturbed by the person filming by being poked with a box, it refuses to budge and stubbornly continues feasting.
He eventually leaves the corpse momentarily before returning from a different angle and continuing to knaw on the head of his fellow rodent.

Rats have been known to eat other rats as a way of preventing predators from smelling the bodies.
