Elusive coyote spotted through Central Park in NYC

by

CENTRAL PARK, Manhattan (WABC) – Last week, a coyote was spotted in Central Park – a rare sighting of the wild dog previously spotted in January.

The wild dog was seen roaming around Conservatory Water, a pond on the east side of the park near 74th Street last Monday.

Coyotes are reported to have lived in New York City for the past 30 years, but only one is reported to be known in Central Park.

The NYC Parks Department says anyone who sees the animal should keep calm and contact Parks staff if it appears aggressive or fearless.
