Police caught another not-so-wily coyote Saturday morning in lower Manhattan after a nearly hour-long pursuit, officials said.
The critter was first spotted around 7:30 a.m. in Battery Park City, police said.
Cops quickly responded, chasing after the fast-moving critter on foot and in police cruisers, authorities said.
The coyote was eventually cornered near a cafe at North Cove Marina about an hour after being first spotted, cops said.
Police shot the animal with tranquilizer darts, placed it in a cage and brought it to Animal Care & Control’s East Harlem facility.
It is unclear if the coyote captured Saturday was the same animal that eluded capture on the Upper West Side earlier in the week.
Coyotes have become an increasingly common sight in the city. One was even spotted on the roof of a Long Island City, Queens, bar March 29 before disappearing without a trace.
On April 14, a coyote was snared by cops in Chelsea and later released in the Bronx.
Coyotes were also captured by police in the Stuyvesant Town apartment complex Jan. 25 and in Riverside Park on the Upper West Side two weeks earlier
Ermmmmm.....wait....rethinking that.
Not even remotely funny.
Gray timber wolves from Montana...the ranchers will share a few.
Most people don't realize how true that is. Manhattanites are so insular that back in the late 1800s they named an apartment building "The Dakota" because it was up on 72nd St - it was so far uptown it might as well have been in the Dakotas to them.
Unless, coyotes are indigenous to upstate New York, I would send them to get skinned. The way the West was won was by trappers making the way for ranchers and farmers. Varmints are no good. You don’t want your third grader trailed on her way to school by coyotes that have shed their natural fear of man.
way back in the good old days, packs of wolves roamed NYC and central park...instead of reintroducing them out west, put a small pack in central park. It would cut down on crime in the park and they would have to look for more meat for dinner...hopefully those that want predators out west...a few bears would also do some good...
