Straphangers are more or less used to odd animal sightings on city subways -- from snakes to peacocks to a raccoon and crabs. Now, enter duck on a leash. 

Instagram user @giant.life captured video of a white duck on a red leash on a G train in Brooklyn Monday. 

The video shows the duck quacking animatedly, bopping its head up and down as the train rumbles along, at some points resting its head on what appears to be a very clean subway car floor. 

Someone can be heard inquiring about the duck, and the apparent owner responds that it is a pet and that she has had the duck since it was a chick.

It is illegal to keep a duck as a pet in New York, according to the city

Most recently, a rat in Brooklyn was captured on video dragging a large trash bag by its teeth just to get to the pizza crust inside.

Who said squirrels only eat nuts? A photo of a squirrel eating a taco in a Brooklyn tree was posted by Twitter user Maria Bianchi. You can find that photo here.(This is a generic squirrel image.)
A video of a subway rat lugging a giant slice of pizza down a staircase became the viral, Pizza Rat, in 2015. It's safe to assume you didn't miss this one.

A month after Pizza Rat came onto the scene, a raccoon was spotted in Central Park eating an entire slice of pizza in a tree. Can you really blame them?

A rat dubbed the "Roll Mole" was seen in the subway dragging a comically large dinner roll behind it on the Upper East Side in 2016.
