Central Park Coyote

I wanted to wait a week to post these photos to ensure the Coyote had moved on to a more private sleeping spot. Depending on who you talk to we have either two or more Coyotes in the park. I’ve seen two together in the northern end of the park and in the center of the park others often see two together. These could be the same animals or two pair.

Other large cities have Coyote populations in the hundreds, so I suspect over time we’ll have more Coyotes in Central Park and Manhattan. Despite their reputation as being a danger to pets and livestock, Eastern Coyotes generally try to avoid people.
