Coyote sightings in New York City on the rise

[@rigel507]

For over a year I have seen coyotes in highbridge park up in Washington heights. Some have pups already. I have a husky so they are no longer afraid of dogs and people.

[@hansonel]

When I lived in Manhattan a few years ago I was walking through Central Park at night. Heard a Coyote howl somewhere not too far away. A lady walking her small dog in front of me. Stopped, looked around and then picked up her dog and jogged back toward Fifth Avenue out of the park. Stopped cutting through Central Park at night after that.

It's a coyote not a wolf

[@Dave....]

So I would guess that means these coyotes have to be crossing bridges to get these parts of the city? Also on a sidenote, I know that first guy wasn't comparing a cute cuddly dog to a wild coyote smh.

[@stitcher4729]

They follow railroad tracks from Westchester to the Bronx to Manhattan.

[@richiemartinez103]

The lack of packs of stray dogs that NYC used to have makes the city much more inviting for coyotes than 25-40 years ago.

[@blu12gaming44]

For those who don't know how they actually act in the wild: they have no fear of humans and will stalk & hunt you if you are alone. That is the reality of rural New England when it comes to these creatures. You've been warned, they're not friendly like dogs but are hardwired to hunt in groups.

Coyowolves. Not coyotes. There is extensive dna to prove this. Big difference

You're clueless.

[@teejay3272]

City people on asphalt. Not their fault but some real education needs to take place on this one. I live in a mountain forest and coyotes are great neighbors. But it's just like being around bears. You need to know how they roll. Zero to fear. But some things to respect and understand.

A lot of bad jokes will coming from this headline

[@chriszenko3598]

All they want is a little bit of food

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

Maybe they will eat the rats. If they don’t get eaten first.

Really?

[@smrk2452]

Should we be worried about this?

[@jimbo1637]

Not really. Coyotes rarely attack people, and they're too small to pose a major threat even on the rare occasions when they do. They also love to eat rodents like rats and mice, which is definitely a good thing!

[@coyotestylepro1150]

No. 🐝 more worried about your upcoming Presidential election This is only a distraction 😎
