Hal the coyote lay in a cage Wednesday, sedated by a tranquilizer dart after he led the police and other pursuers on a roundabout chase through Central Park.

The dart was fired by a police officer who was part of a posse chasing Hal in Central Park. Hal was the the first coyote known to have been on the loose in the park since Otis the coyote gave officials a run for their money in 1999.

Does the adage about mice apply to coyotes?

Saw two running across 170 in Southlake TX tonight. Both were well fed. Lots of rabbits, mice, rats, cats, and dogs to dine on around here.
