An enormous rat has been spotted making itself at home in the empty food court of a popular Sydney shopping centre during the city's lockdown.
A shopper walking through the Parramatta Westfield filmed the rodent crawling underneath a table in the abandoned food court on Sunday.
The man uploaded the video to TikTok, where locked-down viewers were quick to poke fun at the furry intruder.

'Hope he has a mask on,' one user commented.
'With restrictions in place, they are the ones going shopping,' another said.
'Has no mask. Needs a fine unless he has an exemption,' a third wrote.
'At least he's social distancing,' a fourth replied.
Westfield shopping centres are still open for trade during the state-wide lockdown, however locations in Bondi Junction, Burwood, Eastgardens, Hurstville and Parramatta have been included on the list of Covid-19 exposure sites.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Westfield Parramatta for comment.
A viewer of the TikTok video speculated the rats had invaded the centre after no longer having access to food scraps from eateries on the surrounding streets
