It's the Brian Larry Show on WNYC. Good morning again, everyone. So as we said before the news,

every day during the membership drive, we're doing a 10-question quiz in the middle of the show

to break

things up, usually right after the news, have a little fun and hopefully give away some swag.

Today it's a 10-question quiz about New York City critters, 10 questions about 10 different species

or specific famous New York City critters. Who wants to play? Our 10 lines are full.

You can get in when people finish up at 212, 433.

WNYC, get two in a row right, and you can choose between a Brian Larras show baseball cap

and the new WNYC tote for this membership drive that says you can't defund the truth. You can get in line now.

We'll get to you right after the first few people finish up at 212-433-9692.

Sybelle in Manhattan is on line one. Hi, Sabelle. Ready to play?

Hi, Brian. Yes, big fan.

Thank you.

And question one.

Mayor Eric Adams hates my species, but I'm hard to wipe out.

You might even find me nesting in your walls or car engines,

even climbing up the subway stairs with a big slice of pizza.

Who am I?

A rat. Definitely a rat. Everybody remembers the pizza rat. Question two for the hat of the tote.

Mayoral candidate, Curtis Lewa, thinks of me as a solution to our last critter.

You can find me in bodegas across the city as well as homes.

Unfortunately, there's a lot of us in shelters, too.
