They trapped one in Central Park a couple weeks ago.
I saw white tailed deer, foxes, and a wild turkey when I lived in the Bronx, to say nothing of one of the largest populations of melanistic (black) squirrels and chipmunks in an urban area. Never got to see the coyotes. Since the Bronx is 20% parkland, its not surprising. Nor is it surprising that they made it down to Central Park.
Now being down in Central Jersey, I see lots of pheasants, hawks, deer, turkeys, beavers, and muskrats. Saw my first coyote (in the state) while walking on the D&R canal trail in Trenton. Ran as soon as he/she saw me.
Now that we have bears showing up in Newark, I'm just pining for the day when I hear on 1010 WINS that a "bear" has been caught near the west side piers, one NOT wearing a leather chest harness and a moustache...
